At least you have options, I hope you get it worked out soon!

In the Vancouver area go to shops (for me anyway) Scan in north van, Juan's in Richmond or Turn3 in Langley.

@ Triple Black

Who would you recommend in Van? It'd be a heck of a lot easier than sending it down to the States.


@ Lowpue

I considered that as well! Just have to really pick a direction and go with it. I have a 2001 C2, I forgot to answer before.
I have a 2001 engine for sale, rebuilt with LN 3.6L sleeves & triple row IMSB. $15,000

When Charles @ LN engineering was 1st developing his IMSB upgrades they designed a triple row bearing that they could install if you sent your dual row IMSB to LN. They also check the shaft for runout & pin the drive gears. That was the best "solution" at the time so that's what I did.

Wow...never heard that before! I know about the shaft pinning service (which obviously makes a lot of sense)...very cool

I learned something too! If someone had told me their M96 had a triple row bearing, without the explanation, I would have called BS.

I haven't seen it on their site in a long time so they may not offer that service anymore.

^^This^^ I've never seen or heard of a "triple row" bearing (in almost 4 years of reading/researching). Hopefully it holds up well. FWIW I went for The Solution when I did mine (it previously had a LN "classic dual row" installed.

That's not a LN product. Nor up to their standards.

Here's a history lesson for those interested:



The original quad-row IMS Upgrade. Used conventional bearings.


Quad row was replaced with triple row with ceramic hybrid bearings.

Porsche must be very proud of that decision!
