Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I would like to know the how hard it is to drop the engine? is that the best way to work on engine? I am looking into buying a manual to help me through this procedure. I just purchased a 1997 boxster and i want to start pulling it a part as soon as it get s delivered. I would like to be aware of any pitfalls before I get started Regards, Automon
Depending on what you want to do you may not have to drop the engine. I suggest you go to a Porsche dealer and see how they do it on a lift if they will let you watch. I watched my mechanic friend for 2 hours then the shop manager chased me away. There is no aftermarket shop manual, just the factory, and the factory one is lousy for a DIYer. Jeff
In my own opinion, I think the boxster is one of the best cars to get to the engine to work on it... There are three major ways to get to your boxster/boxster s engine... 1.) From inside the car (behind the seats) 2.) From above the engine (under covertible top) 3.) From under car (where engine is removed from) Here's a picture from inside my 2001 boxster, with the inside cover removed, the above cover removed, and the engine removed... It should explain more! :-) Have Fun and Drive Safe, PorscheBoy (Jay)
I would like to install headers can i do this with the engine in the car? Thanks, Automon
Headers can be done with the engine in.
