Hello All,

I am shopping around for a 986 Boxster S. I ran across one that had the engine replaced in 2007 (apparently due to an IMS failure). The seller (3rd owner) is claiming that they utilized the updated non-replaceable IMS bearing in the new engine.

I've searched about as much as I can on this but couldn't find any information. Can anyone confirm or speak to this? Can the VIN be checked by Porsche?

Thanks!
