That's pretty much what I've done to all my boxsters and boxsters I've repaired at the track. At the track you usually only have one chance to do it. I usually jack the back end up so high that the front bumper is touching the ground. Never had a car overheat from doing it that way

Because of the oil contamination this process is a major pain. I’m thinking jacking car up higher is the key so thank you.
