IMSB Failure

Hi Rick - I am sure I’ll get roasted over this, but I just have to say, it’s about $2000 to eliminate this problem. I just don’t understand why some people think that changing oil and inspecting oil filters is going to eliminate this problem. By the time you see metal shavings, it’s very, very likely too late. I can tell you firsthand, it’s a real bad day when that engine fails - it’s about a $12,000 bad day. There is a lot urban legend about this and internet panic. But, for $2000 I just don’t understand why people won’t eliminate that nagging worry every time you get in a car that is supposed to be fun to drive. It’s just the cost of doing business – the cost of owning a Boxster. Of course, we all make our own decisions. Good luck.
