has Porsche let us down?

[Jake Raby]

Now a lot more than 4,000 have been sold as I stated in that post. The figures are now double that.

FYI- we recently retrofitted a 16k mile Boxster S from 2004. The work was done proactively and the bearing was already at stage II failure with a compromised seal. We cut this one apart and documented it like all the rest.

Do the Porsche dealers do this retrofit bearing upgrade? Should I wait until the Raby guaranteed no fail solution becomes available and will it be performed by dealers or only at Flat 6? These are questions I need to find answers for. I want what is best for my car.

Best to call your local dealer and ask. I live in the SF Bay area and at least one of the local dealers does retrofit Boxsters with the LN ceramic bearing. I also know of several independent repair shops that do so.

The question is whether the IMS Solution will be sold to both dealers as well as independent shops. An earlier note, I believe said the IMS Solution will not be sold to DIYers.

Call us Monday to discuss.

I've been away this week instructing my Engine Rebuild School to 20 guys from all over the country here at Flat 6. What a blast!
