The problem with the web? 99.9% of shop owners who actually KNOW what is going on don't have time to be on the web. Then when they do come on the web and correct people or show people.. they usually get ran off. Happens all the time..

Wouldn't this have to do with the horizontal lay of the cylinder vs. vertical or V?

I don't know about the others, but my 2000 S with 66K miles on the odometer DOES NOT smoke at startup. It does tick, though. Thanks, cracked exhaust manifolds!

smoke on start up
My 98 boxster has smoked on start up just a quick puff for a second or two then it went away ,but it has only happened three or four times total since I bought it almost three years ago now ,it has 88 k on it bought it with about 81 k was told by the porsche dealers and anyone I have ever talked to it is normal,but the first time it did this it scared the heck out of me to see a bunch of smoke in the air behind me
