What’s wrong with this picture?

Yes, it’s odd that it ran. I only have the word of the guy who sold it. Not a lot of confidence. The bearing was completely destroyed. No race left. You can see the bolt at the wrong end of the tube. The oil filter had minimal debris in the pleats. I’m hoping to start the teardown tomorrow if I can get my garage above zero!

Well..... fwiw..... I've been a member here since March last year. In that time, lots of scares and paranoia..... but this is the first real live IMS bearing failure reported.

I'd call that relatively rare. ;-)

Swing by a reputable shop like Jake Raby's or JFP on this forum and look at all the cars and engines waiting for IMS related rebuilds . Every time I swing by Jake's I just shake my head at the amount of dead Porsche's he has there waiting for repair and almost all are IMS related failures .

Ummmm..... where do you think one would find the highest concentration of broken porsches? 'Cuz I would expect it to be at a porsche repair shop. So seeing 8 to 10 cars waiting for repair, while thousands of others tool-around without the problem sorta makes my point, doesn't it?

However: your proximity to raby's shop, (and your subsequent adherence to his religion), makes me unsurprised at your "testament" that IMSB related failures are imminent for all of us.

Haha the numbers of cars waiting to be repaired is much much greater than 8 - 10 cars but I don't want to side track this posting . I hope no one ever experiences an IMS failure . I don't drink ANYONE's Kool Aid I do my research and do what I think is best , no different than anyone else . Let's enjoy our cars .
