I wonder if you can help … I am in process of rebuilding my 2008 997.1 C2 … whilst engine is disassembled, I thought it a good idea to get my machine shop to replace the IMS bearing … it seems that the larger bearing is a ‘industry standard’ 6305 type … is this correct? … is there a particular manufacturer/type that you would recommend? … is it better to use a sealed or unsealed type? … any help/guidance really appreciated 🤞

Our recommendation would be to fit an IMS Solution as it provides a permanent fix for the IMS issue on these models. All our Retrofit and Solution kits use an adapter bushing that when fitted makes it so that the IMS is serviceable without complete engine disassembly: lnengineering.com/products/the-definitive-guide-and-faq-for-porsche-ims-bearings/my06-08-porsche-cayman-boxster-911-ims-bearing.html

Congratulation for all of these of information about a make with such history. My name is Sotiris from Athens Greece. Thirteen years ago I bought a Carrera 2001 second hand. The car is in a good condition but at 80.000 km changed the broken engine with a rebuilded one which came from Germany according to PORSCHE CARE ATHENS in 2008 . From the factory the broken engine was M96 / 4_66120034. The rebuilded one has the numbers M9604AT66166310. Because of the many articles about IMS problems I would like to know how will be able to inform me about the Bearing in my car IMS which cause the fatal problem in the engine. My car has also production No WPOZZZ99Z1S606579. I am wondering what kind of IMS bearing has the car right now big or a small? Thank you in advance

As you have a factory replacement engine, the Porsche dealership should be able to tell you what IMS bearing the engine has based off the engine number. That data we do not have access to unfortunately. The engine would have whatever bearing was currently being used by Porsche during the model year it was manufactured. If the engine was built in or after model year 2006, it will more than likely have the larger, non-serviceable IMS bearing.

It's nice to get some facts about the dreaded IMS bearing. There has been too much bullshit spread from too many armchair experts. Being a 987 owner, I have always been a little nervous about this item but having a late 06 car, now have some peace of mind. I guess I just have to fret over bore score (kidding, heading out for a strap now :) ).

So for my 2000 986 I literally have to get behind the flywheel to find out?The cars build date won’t tell me?Ive heard that the early build dates are still dual row.

Just be aware that engine serial number alone doesn't tell you for sure what's in your engine, as it's possible the engine has had work (possibly by Porsche) in the past. Therefore only way to check is indeed to remove the flywheel. I'm in exactly the same position as you: 2000 Boxster, but am dropping the flywheel and inspecting. It's what I did on my 996 which was dual row and at 100K miles, absolutely perfect.
