I had some spare time to put in the engine and leave it ready, hopefully I will start it up later this week..

You have earned lots of respect for taking on this project and wrenching yourself. Although I have never had a blown engine after 22 years of Porsche ownership, I know that someday it may be a possibility. Time constraints for me is what keeps me from doing my own clutch jobs or other time consuming maintenance, but I enjoy wrenching on cars very much.
One little tip/trick is that if you are going to be working on the top of a boxster engine a lot, I recommend removing the rear trunk lid so that you do not dent it by accident. Then just sit inside the trunk and work from there. Keep up the good work

I started the engine today about 10sek just to test before bolting on the rest of parts…
hopefully I will have it running tomorrow for some minutes!

This afternoon after work I finished assembling the car and placed it down at the garage floor for first time since long…
the cars starts well and gears/clutch works well, maybe I can make a shirt run tomorrow at the neighbourhood…

[FireSuitOn]Did you ever consider an LS swap?[/FireSuiteOn]

Nothing I like, The LS engines sounds like old truck/boat engines to me, have nothing to do with a high redwing race engine.
