@lqueremel - both the water pump and AOS are in good condition. I'll upload a video today.
Could you speak to the condition of the water pump or Air/Oil separator? Any indications of irregular idling? Could you upload a video starting it/driving it?

@jparish - These early Boxster's had the dual row bearing from the factory. They are far less failure prone them the later single row bearings (2000-2005).
any details on the IMS?
