I really do not have answer for your question of moving an IMS Solution retrofit. I know you cannot move any of the LN ceramic bearings as the extraction process damages the bearing. Perhaps that question would best be directed at Jake Raby, but my hunch would be no.

Ok, wont use DOF, that's Pedro's solution, was just trying to keep the post short. The only reason I'm thinking it could be moved to another engine as it has no moving parts.

Maybe Jake will comment on that and sorry Jake for using DOF when referring to your IMS Solution.

If someone offers to remove your engine to change the IMSB, don't back away from that deal, turn and run.

"Mantis in Oakville was around $2200 plus tax etc. LN double row."

"We know a shop in Ontario called Hunter Motorsports. Give them a call and see if they can help you, we have worked with them in the past. Brent is the owner, so ask for him.
Hopefully this helps...Good luck!"

Great tips! Thankyou for everyone's input! This Boxster is not going to have her engine pulled for an IMSB,
