Prevent catastrophic engine failure in your Porsche Boxster or 911 996 by carrying out an IMS bearing replacement.
From 1997 to 2008, all Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 vehicles equipped with the M96 or M97 engine incorporate an intermediate shaft (IMS) upheld by a sealed ball bearing. Originally, Porsche designed the intermediate shaft bearing to endure the engine's entire lifespan without necessitating any service intervals, replacement protocols, or provisions for substituting the initial IMS bearing. Interestingly, Porsche hadn't even assigned a part number to the IMS bearing. The task of replacing or enhancing the original factory IMS bearing remained unfeasible until LN Engineering introduced the pioneering IMS Retrofit procedure, which involved creating the essential tools for extracting and substituting the original Porsche IMS bearing. This advancement permitted the installation of an improved ceramic hybrid ball bearing, featured in all IMS Retrofit kits, in Porsche Boxster and 911 (996) engines.
Subsequently, LN Engineering developed the IMS Solution, a definitive remedy designed to forestall IMS bearing malfunctions permanently. For comprehensive insights into Porsche IMS bearings and common queries, we invite you to delve into our comprehensive guide. This resource will provide you with all the essential information about Porsche intermediate shaft bearings and elucidate why LN Engineering's IMS Retrofit and IMS Solution stand out as the most effective solutions for addressing problematic IMS bearing complications in Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 engines.

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.

What a headache that must be.

IMS bearing replacement is actually quite simple as long as you have the right tools and a lift. Many DIY guys have successfully changed out their own IMS bearing with the IMS Retrofit or IMS Solution since we started offering these products in 2008.
