    With the engine idling, try to remove the oil filler cap. If it is difficult to remove (by being sucked in by a vacuum), there is a good chance that you need to replace the AOS (air/oil seperator). Use the Search Button for AOS and you will get a lot of info as to what to do.

    Jake, what's the situation for us poor guys on the other side of the pond who would like to sleep real easy at night by retro fitting one of your double row bearings? Is there going to be a kit (bearing/puller/instructions/etc) available over the counter and could it be performed by an indipendant Porsche mechanic. Or are you saying that fitting is too tricky and that (at the moment) only you guys are installing them? Boxsters here in Oz cost more than double what you pay, so we have a lot more $$ invested in our cars, so a Raby bearing retro fit would be more viable than a reman motor from Porsche (which costs here about the same as an acre block in Manhatten). My 2001 Boxster S has "probably" got the double row bearing fitted and a couple of thousand dollar preventative maintenance up front is a hell of a lot better scenario than a possible engine black hole.

    itzbob, I guess you could replace the new plugs with your originals & see if the misfire is still present. At the same time you can inspect the coilsfor cracking. I know its a pain, but at least you are isolating the fault.

    Try pumping the clutch pedal a few times - if you can then select the gear you have air in the system, low fluid or the clutch is worn.
