Does anyone know the cut off serial number for the motor to have a dual row bearing? I'm also interested as I've been trying to find out if my 2000 S has a single or dual row. Thanks

Topdown,

Just this past weekend, I had the thread up on my IPhone with the VIN information you are looking for. I was just now looking for it so that I could link it for you, but now I can't find it. It is in here somewhere. I thought that there was a thread about the Porsche Class Action Suit that held the information.

Be advised, though, that Jake has indicated that the numbers are not always an accurate indication. He says that the only way to know is to pull the flywheel and look. If I pull the flywheel to look, it will be with at least a fresh replacement bearing in hand and probably an LN kit.

Hope this helps.

The following thread lists the catalogue numbers and a discussion concerning the double-row versus single-row bearing:
