Yes, but it's not as simple in an M97 engine based on its design.
If the trans and clutch are removed from an M96, the IMS can be replaced with the engine still in the car.
To remove / replace the IMS in the M97 you need to remove the trans, clutch, and
engine. Then the engine is disassembled to the point where the block halves are split apart and the bearing removed. It cannot be pressed in like an M96.
Jake - what is the price difference for an M97 IMS replacement vs an M96 (assuming both early detections and no major internal damage)? Basically how much is added to the cost because of the engine disassembly of the M97?
Thanks.
