With all the fearful information out there regarding the WHAT IF!! I'm surprised anybody wants to buy a Porsche from 97-04.

Well there are a few reasons not to buy a Porsche but IMS failure is not one of them.
Thanks to the hard work of a few guys, we have a way of removing this problematic component without having to remove the engine. You have to wonder how many engines have been saved because someone figured it out... without any help from Porsche.

Or how many more engines could be saved if people changed the water pump with more frequency than waiting for it to fail (which I'm guilty of as well). Point is both of these so-called reasons not buy, IMS grenading and head cracking, can be addressed with worthwhile results.
