in a note to me October 4th in a discussion that began on the subject of what year of car would be best to buy if you were planning to immediately do the IMSR
"The MY02-05 should be a single row bearing, but like I have on there(we were discussing his web site...mike), we have seen some MY05 cars with the new style IMS (MY06-08m, which cannot be serviced because the bearing is a larger diameter than the hole in the rear of the case) and even some with dual row bearings (I don’t have an explanation for that!). But being that I’ve only ever seen 3 engines that don’t fit the norm, I’m willing to generalize that the MY05 is single row.
Yes, the housing bore in which the bearing resides, along with the casting for the sprocket and IMS flange are significantly different in the MY06-08 cars with the revised (3rd) IMS.
If the IMS has a dual row bearing or smaller single row bearing, both can be serviced with our retrofit kits."
