SG & BY Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! for sharing your insight.
Re: don't remove any of the lockasil & use Joe Gibbs break-in oil for initial start up. This is the kind of advice I seek!
I am a 30yr Porsche mechanic trying to get up to speed on the water cooled engines.
Re: LN Engineering "Nickies sieves" [thow be it w/pistons & rings]at $4,600 on a $8k Boxster, or even on a $ 17k Carrera. Is not going to very marketable.
I have found lots of choices of rings for all the larger displacement water cooled engines so must be more compatible to re-ringing. Different material on cylinder walls?
I've talked with a couple of Porsche mechanics and they reuse 2.5 Boxster rings on low buget repairs if miles not to high.
