"There is no Porsche replacement IMS Bearing"

How about just replacing the bolts?

Which bolts?

How do the bolts create a bearing failure?

The mechanics I'm friends with are always in pursuit of perfection...for the minimal dollars, why wouldn't you do the update since you're already in there? And install a new clutch to boot...I think that would make the car very appealing.

If you're looking to make big bucks, I think you're chasing the wrong animal.

I always find it curious that someone new posts an IMS question - then never responds. Be careful folks.

I don't understand why a "qualified Porsche technician" would even make a post like this in the first place.

Stirring the pot, perhaps?

Doubtful the poster has any mechanical skills and is just asking a question.
