Laughed my ass off...but I bet that engine is a freaking screamer!

Yep... I say it like it is! Keeps the tirekickers away!

I designed the first of these 4 liter engines for my Wife's Land Speed 996... Her T shirt reads:
"If I had balls they'd be bigger than yours".. She currently holds four Land Speed Records :-)

I have a 1997 with 60k miles and just swapped my IMS bearing out for the $600 LN bearing.

I wish I hadn't even bothered replacing mine becasue my stock bearing was in "like Brand new condition".

At least I have piece of mind now but if I could go back in time, I certainly wouldnt have messed with mine.

I replaced the bearing on my 45k mile 2000S as well and the bearing looks great, but I'm still glad I did it.

That bearing can go from perfect to failed in less than 1K miles.
