i was surprised how good the bearing was both seals in very good condition no play at all , but know im gonna have piece of mind that i have done 4 things to make my car last longer
I replaced the one in the replacement (used) engine that went into my car. It had a surprising amount of play in the bearings. Just for chuckles, I removed the flange from my failed engine. That one was in really good shape. Both engines are Porsche Factory Replacment engine. The one coming out - with the good IMS - had about 65k on the chassis. The one going in had about 97k on the chassis. Of course, since they are both replacment engines, I have no idea how many actual miles were on the engines, but it would be less than the chassis.
