1998 Porsche Boxster - Overheated - Oil in cylinders
in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Posted · Edited by benjiradio
Hi, I have acquired a 1998 Porsche Boxster 2.5L Automatic with what Im assuming is a blown engine. 61k orig miles
It turns over fine, will not fire.
I pulled a couple plugs and they both had oil on them.
I read a quote from a mechanic(found in the boot) that said the car had overheated.
Here are the few questions I have. Could this be blown head gaskets? If it is blow by past the rings then why is it in all the cylinders(im assuming)? Any other info would be great too. Thanks
