Time to reinstall the timing chain tensioners, remove the camshaft locking tools and verify the timing!
Part numbers (for my Boxster S):
Rear: 99610518059
Lower Left: 99610518602

Can I face engine problems in the long run if I do not swap to the new tensioners? My Boxster MY97 makes a short rattle (due to off loaded chain tensioners) every time I crank the engine when cold.
As a follow up to Z00mie Zoom's question I'm wondering if the oil has to be drained to replace the tensioners?
Could one replace the tensioners (only) without locking the cams/crank as the chains can't "fall off" or move on the sprockets?
Its not a bad idea to do two full rotations of the crank. Install the crank locking pin again and check the alignment of the cam slots. Just another double check before installing the cam caps.
I have a 1999 Porsche Boxster as well and I had the ims change too the vertexauto ims and it works great because I got a used engine with 41000 miles on it and over 5months heard rattling in the transmission thought but it was the ims bearing wearing down
Do you have a part number for the crush washer and o ring on the tensioners
hi, where did you get the plastic plugs (bore plugs) for the cam shaft holes?
Great video….. What signs did you see or hear that they needed to be replaced?
