I know, another IMS story
 

Here is a link from the PCA newsletter about one mans experience working on his 2000 Boxster.

I think it is a very good read.

Not really. He totally lost my interest when he selected a roller bearing and starting beating a "controlled size oil feed" with a piece of pointe metal and a hammer so that he could flood the IMS shaft with oil.

"No LN products! How dare he?!?!" The three amigos will have none of that! :D

Cool read. Thanks for posting :cool:

I enjoyed that read. Thanks.

Excellent read! Thanks! Really useful.

And how did he dare not to spend $15 - $25 K to rebuild his entire engine? I am sure his car will self-destruct at any moment. ;)

Looks like another perfectly good dual row bearing replaced with a questionable bearing.

Just out of curiosity.
Who is the third amigo?
I could guess the first two.

Chevy Chase, Steve Martin & Martin Short. I always forget Martin Short too.

We don't need no stinking badges.

I don't think those were the three amigos that PW had in mind...

He lost me when citing the 101 Boxster Projects manual and the 3.4 capacity of the 2000 model Boxster. I wish him the best.

Absolutely true. I hope people don't use that idea to "fix" their cars the wrong way.

golfduke did a good aspect in his post from Aug. 12, 2016 9:01 a.m. concerning the grease to be used in this kind of bearing application.
