LNE IMS Retrofit Sticker...where should it go?
I did the IMS Retrofit recently and I have kind of a silly question. Where should I put the serial number sticker? Door jam? Under front hood? Trunk? What is the convention on this...I don't see any recommendation on the install doc.

Mine was put in the driver's side door jam by the approved installer.

I looked high and low...
&*#$%^, where is it? I know I had an IMSR done.
My sticker ended up on next to the emissions diagram on the underside of the rear trunk lid.

To avoid affixing a sticker to paint I put it on the option sticker under the front trunk lid.

Make that 4.
The place that just did my IMSB stuck it in the service book, next to the stamp for the service they'd just done.

As I mentioned my installer is approved and he put it in the door jam. It's also the first place he looks on any 986/996 to see if the IMSB was replace during a PPI.

I kept my bearing. Whats the point? Resale value?(Sorry Jake) I kept mine and fiddle with it from time to time. Eventually I will crack it open or I put it on ebay. Until then it sits on my desk.

Jake,
I did my own install of the dual-row LN bearing last summer. Since it was an owner-install, there's no warranty. If I sent you the used factory bearing, would you still examine it and render an opinion to me?

The bearings don't come to me, they go to LN.. My part of the classic retrofit bearings has been over for a long, long time now.

How does the original bearing failing impact a new bearing? And what's an expected life for a replacement bearing if the original is failing...at least long enough to make the replacement worth it?

Debris from the original failure will remain within the engine, being very difficult to remove. These will chew the internals of the engine, and the retrofit bearing to bits.
If a bearing failed, the IMS assembly can also be compromised as it can see collateral damage in the form of housing runout. This can easily create a wobble and harmonic that will shred the retrofit bearing in short order.
This is why preventative retrofits are the only way to go- people won't listen to this until they have wasted 20K by thinking that it can't happen to them.
I have two "criers" this week... Those are failure calls where the owner starts crying.

This is so LN can ensure that your old bearing was not failing, because if it was, your retrofit bearing will also likely fail
