I found a 1999 Boxster with 36,000 miles and an engine making a knocking sound. I know a lot of 1999's had the sleeve slip problem. Is it possible to go 36,000 miles before the sleeve slips, or does this always happen sooner? If it is not the sleeve, do you think that it is the IMS bearing failure?

Some say 40k is the magic number for calamity. If It's got a knock, it's still relatively together but you diefinitly should plan on tearing it down. You have a fair chance of repairing it. I would not pay much for it.
