Appreciate the video, heading to the garage to pull mine now

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Josh Heineman good luck sir! This video will definitely help. Report back ;)

On that problematic carpet at 5:42, a friend who's done this advised me to first remove the left rear taillight cover and then pull out the triangular piece starting at the point closet to the rear of the car. Then the bulkhead carpet removes easily. Very easy to do. As far as I can tell, at 5:05, you do need to remove the Torx screws as they screw into the plastic trim piece. I must say, my engine is just about ready to come out and I really appreciate your video. Can't tell you how many times I reviewed parts of it when I got stuck. T-Y.

+@eggbertfarnsworth5787 thanks! 🍻

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@FXshovel it’s Aaron. I’d ask the exhaust manufacturer for their recommendation

[@timtroke]

FYI, the link to the Porsche Manuals is broken, tried to get one for a 2006 boxster.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Timothy Troke thanks I’ll take a look!

[@jeremypringle5368]

Your video is 26:54 including intro’s and outro’s so it’s safe to assume a cayman 987 engine can be removed in 30 minutes. Good to know! 😂

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Jeremy Pringle absolutely! 😂

[@victoriacorner4400]

hi is the 2008 boxster upgradable for a newer flat six ?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Victoria corner everything is upgradable if you have enough knowledge and money 😉

[@garethryanbenjamin8459]

Where can I find the engine removal manual?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@garethryanbenjamin8459 got it from emanuels online but people have told me they have been ripped off so I stopped mentioning them

[@ownedbydogs]

I don't have a lift. How high will I need to lift the body to clear the engine?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Kurt Raynorcellphone I really meant to measure! My bad.

[@ownedbydogs]

When you reinstall the engine could you check the clearance needed?

[@user-fx8dy2fw5y]

why did you remove the engine, what was the issue

[@HelpMeDIY]

+A start with the first video in the playlist for the whole story
