Now I know what the "major engine work was"! I asked about adding a DOF system to the bearing, but he advised against since it might drop the oil pressure, so all he did was remove the outer bearing seal for better engine oil lubrication. Apparently engines from 2006-2008 with the 3rd IMS bearing design that is larger are supposed to be more reliable... less failures. True or not?

I found out I had a 2005 3.6 with the larger non removable (without engine disassembly) in my Boxster. I also have a 2008 Cayman S daily driver with the same style bearing. I've had the seal removal done on both. Will it be effective? I honestly don't know - but it can't hurt and it's the only thing that can be done without major engine work.........
