Some of the most botched installs I have seen, and assisted with came from dealers. Remember, the dealer was the last group that started doing the IMSR processes.

Now, there is NO OEM Porsche IMS Bearing! This has NEVER existed, and the IMSB alone has NO PORSCHE PART NUMBER. The part number associated with the IMSB is for a complete new IMS assembly, fitted with a bearing. This requires complete engine disassembly to be fitted.


They do not carry out pre- qualifications, and very few techs have bothered training outside to get the real scope of what to do.

Why take your car to the place that maintained for over a decade that the IMSB wasn't something that could even be removed from the engine?

Care nothing about those warranties. Most of that is just marketing. The LN product is not heavily guaranteed; because we don't want people buying something only because of a piece of paper. Further, I know of 27 other modes of failure that will take your engine out, and many of those will impact the health of an IMSB.

We've carried out over 500 IMSR processes, certainly more than any facility in the country, and possibly the world. To date we've not had a single failure of any engine that was preventatively retrofitted. We were doing this first, before anyone, and I developed the processes. We apply those and a pre- qualification every single time. It looks like you are in NC, no reason not to send your car to the place where the IMSR was born, and the IMS Solution was invented. I have cars here from 27 states, it won't be alone :-)
