Hi! I'm doing a repair with the engine out on a Porsche dealer. How much would be a reasonable labor time to replace the IMS and the RMS? 3 to 5 hours?
The repair I'm doing is a bit expensive, so I'm trying to figure out if I can support the extra for changing this stuff too.
No, I'm repairing worn out chain pads, and some problems that were originated by that. They already dropped the engine out of the car, so I was hoping it would be a lot less than 12 hours to replace the IMS...
aha.. I see then. Can't you just call up and ask for a price? And not every shop does the IMS upgrade. Even my Official Porshce Center Oslo wouldn't tough this job..
If the engine is out and split from the transmission 2 to 3 hours max. If the shop has performed procedure before they could likely do it in an hour or less. Opinions may vary on this but from my experience my 2 cents.

With the engine out of the car and on a stand for other purposes, a RMS and IMS replacement should take substantially less than two hours; maybe 1 1/2 hours total.

Manual or Tiptronic? I think there extra labor involved for Tiptronic cars. I should know, I did IMS on my Tip! I've just never touched a Manual!
It's manual, boxslrr.

Because I had a problem with cam timing, and because the engine is out. If it's not much more, why not?

Many people do IMS/RMS and Clutch/Flywheel concurrently since the labor to access them is the same, if you're near ready for clutch work now would be the time, so you don't have to pay labor again when the clutch starts going out.
If engine is out, the effort is about 1hr or less @$140/hr (reference to few labor rate in Houston) + parts/material. If tranny is not off, add another hour.
