Re: "Chill out"?
Since you're looking for owners who have had failures, maybe you can use your "research" to convince this guy that the $20,000+ loss he just took is all in his head:

Paraphrasing is accepted as well as links to the cam cover was perforated when the timing belt blew, there was metal all through the engine and past the screen on the oil sump. It is important to know that the ’05 engine is unique. It can’t be rebuilt as per the IMS bearing…the design is different. If one buys a crate engine they get the newer version of IMS bolted in, which is what the gentleman who bought my car (for $3000) got. But you can’t take an ’05 and refit the IMS the way you could on an ’99 or a 2002. So far as I know. This is a Boxster, maybe the 911 engine is a different 996, material, but Inot cut-and-paste.

This is don’t see why it woulde be. Just something to think about if you’re anticipating buying a caused ’05. I would say……don’t."[/i] of new developments.
