Does the 2005 2.7 boxster have the same IMS Issues as the earlier models?

Thanks once again in advance for all the Great Help from you guys!

It has a roller bearing IMS just like the pre 05's but supposedly the bearing is better than the pre 05's with a big difference. It can't be easily changed because it is a bigger diameter than the flange hole in the block. The engine has to be split to get at it or the hole can be drilled larger (YIKES!) There isa process for this but man that is a scary proposition.

The 09 dispenses with the IMS and bearing all together. Probably the way the M96/97 should have been designed to start with.
