Interestingly, there are more than just one or two single owner, multiple IMS failure reports; so driving style may play into what factors lead to the problem; but again, only one source has most if not all of the data, and they ain't talking.....

right, that is the point I was trying to make,that there are several cars I have heard of that have had MULTIPLE failures with different engines, but the same car, and you have a lot of cars that have NEVER had a failure,which leads me to believe there might be something to do with driving habits, maintenance, etc...Im almost wondering if this 996 might have even had a failure with a ceramic bearing
