For the reassembly, is there a real service manual available for the engine? I bought the Bentley workshop manual as that was the most recommended, but basically it says not much about the engine. I will need torque settings, timing chain instructions, etc..

That information was never published by Porsche. Jake Raby published books on the subject.

Your original question was asking if anyone had experience with replacement bearing kits. I installed the EPS IMS kit in my 1997 Boxster about 3 years and 35K miles ago. I have not had the first problem with it and the peace of mind knowing it is not going to be a problem releases me to enjoy driving the heck out of my Boxster.

Thanks Bob. That was exactly what I was looking for as I am mulling the variety of options. Short, factual with no malice towards others.

Just playing around, Because oil discussions get as confusing as IMSB discussions.
