IMS SOLUTION AS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:
IMS replacement takes an average of 10-14 hours and requires the transmission to be removed. For the Titronic 911 models, the engine and transmission must be removed as a complete unit in order to separate the engine and transmission.
Usually associated with clutch and other maintenance such as replacement of RMS, AOS, water pump, dual mass flywheel, etc.
If an engine failure occurs, rebuilding takes more than 60 hours and can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix. Once the IMS bearing begins to fail, it cannot be safely replaced, as worn metal from the original bearing can damage the replacement bearing or other internal engine components.
Motors must be pre-qualified before replacing bearings.

WHICH FACTORY BEARING DOES MY ENGINE HAVE?
1997-1999: This engine had an IMS with two rows of bearings.
2000-2001: These motors came from the factory with either double row or single row IMS bearings. A single row flange is 19,27 mm deep and a double row flange is 13,34 mm deep.
2002-2005: This engine had a single row IMS bearing. Some late production 2005 models have a non-serviceable IMS.
2006-2008: These engines are fitted with a larger bearing, easily identified by the 22mm center nut, which cannot be repaired without a complete disassembly of the engine. Removing the IMS bearing grease seal ensures proper lubrication of the original bearing.
If the engine in your car was replaced, it will have the IMS bearing that was in production for that model year of manufacture for the replacement engine.
