Sorry I didn't mean to post off topic!

I totally agree that if I had a two row bearing car I wouldn't give it a second thought. But would more than likely replace the IMS in the future in conjunction with a clutch job.

Interestingly, My mechanic told me that he has not seen a two row IMS failure but has experienced many on later model boxsters. His hypothesis is that in addition to the the two rows, the early cars did not have the power of the later models and hence tended to be driven in the higher rpm range facilitating greater lubrication.

Again apologize for the misspost.
