IMS Failure 92.5k 99 2.5L Tip

[txhokie4life]

Bought a Boxster whose "oil sprung" -- '99 Tip 2,5L with 92.5K miles on it -- Other than engine issues -- it's in very good condition.

I happened to have an engine of the same model -- so price was too good to pass up.

put Angel on the lift last night and the IMS bolt was staring back down at us!

Here's some fun pictures fo you guys....

IMS Failure == IMS Bolt poking through hole between flywheel and transmission

Carnage caught by the oil filter

My first solo work -- pulled the bumper, exhaust and disconnected the coolant hoses..... ready for engine and transmission removal

Transplant -- waiting for some refurbishment and an IMS retrofit

enjoy,

Might have to shellac that and hang it from the Xmas tree :rolleyes:

I can't wait to see what that inside of the engine looks like.

Looks like a nice project! Keep us posted.

Curious to learn what you paid for the "clunker".
