But seriously, as a Boxster owner who has been wrestling with the IMS question since I bought my first Boxster I would suggest looking at other products... why should I be the only one who changes his mind weekly after reading a different article or thread? Personally I am leaning towards the FVD but considered the EPS roller bearing kit, if I do anything. Since both my cars should be dual row bearings I will likely not touch the green one which has less than 90K miles and a good clutch. The blue Boxster with 115K miles and a clutch that feels a bit tired is a candidate for a disassembly and inspection. The original poster does not mention the year of his Boxster... if I had a 2001 or later I would definitely perhaps maybe change the IMSB right away. |
Let the games begin
My bet is on Mobil-1 0-40 Actually it a decent question as they are different solutions. I think they are both oil feed but I believe Pedro's still uses a bearing while the IMS solution is a non-bearing, same as the front (For a Boxster) of the IMS I also believe the IMS Solution is touted as the 'Final solution' |
I think LN refers to the IMS Solution as a Permanent Solution. Final Solution has a bad historical reference. What I find interesting is that RND is another Charles Navarro company and they offer the RND RS Cylindrical Roller IMS bearing retrofit, which is what the use in their RND rebuilt M96 and M97 engines. The IMS Solution has a journal bearing, just like the bearings used on the crankshaft and rod big ends in the rest of the engine, along with the front bearing in the IMS. Why Porsche ever thought using a grease filled sealed bearing (lubricated for life, ha ha) was a good idea, along with a 15,000 mile oil change interval by the way, will always be a mystery to me.
For my rebuild after a ceramic IMSB failure, I went with the IMS Solution. For me it is the final solution, because if the engine fails again I will be done with this car! |

Perfectly done french fries are better than twice baked potatoes or rice pilaf! How is this even a question? :cheers:

French fries are just rebranded twice baked potatoes. The gall you both have is nothing short of astounding. To challenge not only my expertise but also 5 decades of empirical evidence with rice pilaf. Sheesh... |
Look you guys..... having lived in- Belgium and France for just short of 4 years, I don't mind teaching y'all a thing or two about French fries.
Let me know.... I'll school ya up. In the meantime: Most important thing to know is that they get dipped THREE times, in different temperatures. And horse grease is the real secret. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |
LN/Flat6 actually began experimenting with roller bearings before their single/dual row bearings were brought to market. They only developed the roller bearing product when distributors said they wanted a different price point distributed via a different channel.
There must be a dozen kits now available from many sources and price points. The good news is how few failures get posted to the forums though that may be for fear of getting flamed by that producers fanboys. |
So My car has 80 K paid 9k for it,If I decide on the solution,
at 1800.00 and something else blows it up,can I re use the solution on a diffrant engine,..or is it molded to the I.Shaft |
You need the right potatoes to make the best french fries too.
