Intro + Question About 986 vs 987 Interior

I would be doing my own servicing and maintenance. There is not much I can't do. Now, granted, I haven't split the cases on these engines, but its not rocket science. BTW, we do have a local Porsche dealer and there are a couple of independents that are good, but I prefer to turn my own wrenches - unless it has a warranty - and then its hands off until the warranty expires.

^ Okay now I get it. This explains owning an 850i....

You should look into attending some of Jake Raby's classes. Sounds like you've met your perfect engine.

Yeah - I've been around the block a few times. It took me almost 3 years to finish the 850i (I took my sweet time, of course). Now, this is not meant that I want to do it again anytime soon! Certainly not looking to rebuild a Boxster engine.
