Hello everybody,

I've got a 2005 Boxster S and recently had my check engine light come on. Took it into the dealer and it turns out a IMS related failed; ball bearings rolled out when they took the IMS cover off.

So my Lexus extended warranty (I bought it used in 2007 from a Lexus dealer) initially offered to replace the engine with a used engine with 20,000 miles and I refused.

But I looked around and it seems there are a couple 997 engines floating around and saw a couple posts that claim the engine would drop in a 987 very easily. Does anybody have any direct experience or knowledge about this?

Thanks guys,

Stephen
