I bought a 3.4 Porsche Boxster S from auction and it unfortuantely had bore score! It’s been a little while, but it’s finally time to get the replacement engine in.
In this video I assemble the new engine, put a new clutch on and then get the gearbox connected. Next job is to somehow raise then engine into place with only minimal tools and no ramp.
Finally I run through some diagnostics before finally tuning the key. Will it start? Will my eBay engine turn out to be a dud? Let’s find out.

you are a legend
Nice piece of work their Paul, so pleased the substitute engine has worked out so far.
Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the box and engine?
Congrats on doing that on the floor…
That was quite an achievement, considering that you didn't have any helpers or a jacking table ..
Well done!
Great progress Paul, this is really lovely to see.
Paul I just took my 2.7 for the mot but its high on emissions. Possibly a o2 sensor but I dont know which.do you think that reader would tell me?
I look forward to the inaugural drive after all of your hard work. Well done!
I took my box off over Christmas and changed the ims and clutch but when re fitting the gearbox I pulled my back really bad so had to wait, a week later it seemed better so gave it a sneaky attempt but ended up pulling it a gain but not as bad. Ended up getting a mate to do it. This video reminded me lol
Brlliant!!! A lot of work, but well worth it!
nice one mate…i need a new project too..
