LN Engineering Single Row Pro Ims Retrofit Kit For My00-05. Requires Tool 106-08.22. for Porsche

WHY DO IMS BEARINGS FAIL?

• Lack of lubrication (sealed bearing was used)

• Insufficient load capacity (factory single row bearing had high failure rate of 8% according to the Eisen class action lawsuit)

• The factory did not supply a service interval, replacement, or tools for changing the original bearing out – bearing should have had a service interval!

• Typically coupled with clutch and other maintenance.

• Engine rebuilds take 60+ hours and can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

• Engines must be pre-qualified prior to bearing replacement.

WHAT FACTORY BEARING DOES MY ENGINE HAVE?

• 2000-2001: These engines came from the factory with either a dual row or a single row bearing IMS

• 2002-2005: This engine featured a single row bearing IMS. Some late production 2005 models will have a non-servicable IMS.

• If the engine in your car has been replaced, it will have whatever IMS bearing was in production for that model year of manufacture for the replacement engine.

• All genuine LN IMS Retrofit kits come laser etched, engraved, and serial numbered to validate their authenticity and feature custom-made, ceramic hybrid ball bearings made exclusively for LN Engineering.
