Is bore scoring a risk for Main Line Boxster/Cayman 987 owners?
Bore scoring affects some 987 Boxster and Cayman engines, particularly the 2.7L and 3.4L variants. We inspect cylinders with a borescope during major service. If found early, LN Engineering cylinder solutions can address the issue. Main Line 987 owners benefit from combining IMS bearing replacement with bore inspection during the same engine-out service—addressing both risks at once.
When should Main Line Boxster/Cayman owners do IMS bearing service?
We recommend IMS bearing replacement for all 986 and 987 Boxster/Cayman models as preventive maintenance. The ideal time is during any engine-out service—clutch replacement, RMS leak repair, or bore scoring inspection. For Main Line owners, combining IMS with other engine-out work saves $1,500-2,000 in labor versus doing it as a standalone job.
