    Photos of the plug and filter. You cannot see it but the filter is full of metal flakes

    Hello everyone. My 986 had developed a rattling noise which I previously posted about here: After taking some advice and pulling the oil pan, I found a lot of metal debris on the drain plug, shavings in the oil filter, and the oil pickup almost completely blocked by metal bits and what appeared to be old gasket material. How toast do we think the motor is? I have an appointment scheduled with my Indy mechanic but its still a few weeks away and I am wondering if I should just have him pull the engine. Thanks

    I don't have the serpentine belt on in the video. Would the pulleys still rattle like that without the belt? I can take them off tomorrow, they all feel fine but I can have them checked.

    Nothing? Was really hoping someone had some ideas...

    My 2000 Boxster S has developed a rattling/clanking noise that I cannot seem to figure out. It is coming from the front of the engine area, but I have checked all the pulleys, compressor, pump, and alternator and all seem fine! When you run the engine with out the drive belt, the noise still persists as usual. Is the thermostat going bad? Link to the youtube short of the noise. Any input would be appreciated!

    Hello All, I have a 2001 Base 986 that has a cylinder with low compression (bad intake valve). I really dont feel like going thru the hassle of having the engine rebuilt, and since I am fairly mechanically inclined I was considering just swapping in a new engine. There is a local salvage yard with a 2.7L with 50k miles on it that is in good shape, but I figured if I was going thru the trouble of doing a swap, why not put a 3.2L from the S model in. Heres my question: if I get a 3.2L from a 2000-2002 S, is it a direct swap into the base model outside of reflashing the DME? I have been searching the forums and Pelican Parts DIY articles and could not come to a conclusive answer. I was planning on doing the clutch/IMS while I was at it. Thanks!

    Hello all, Just picked a 986 that has been sitting for about 9 months (outside unfortunately). Previous owner said it was running fine when he parked it last summer, with the occasional CEL for a misfire that he thought was an injector going bad. After putting a new battery in, the car starts but idles pretty rough and the CEL flashes after running for a couple seconds. Will be getting a OBD reader from work on monday, but thought I would see what steps you all suggested for essentially restarting a car after 9 months. What I have planned so far mechanically wise: Clean MAF (airbox looked brand new) Drain as much old fuel as possible, put in fresh 93 octane Replace fuel filter Pull packs and plugs to get a look at them (supposedly new in 2022) Pull codes and diagnose misfire (assuming injector, bad fuel, Cam sensor, or MAF) After sorting misfire, change oil, coolant. Power steering fluid and brake fluid looked ok for now but will eventually replace. What else am I missing? Thanks
