Bravo!! Was my scariest decision a year ago but after the first year, I cannot imagine not driving her as much as weather (snow) permits. Yup, I drive her in the rain. I’ve been assured that she won’t melt.

Mine has been great as well, I just figured doing the IMSB into the price when I bought it. Debatable that it was necessary since its a 99 double bearing but I feel better anyway..

"Front" Oil Seal Replacement?
So how detailed would the Porsche dealer have documented an IMS retrofit back in 2007 in a Carfax report while the 2004 996 was still under warranty?
The Carfax reports, "transmission removed and replaced" and then, "front crankshaft oil seal replaced."
If the transmission was removed, wouldn't that imply that the "rear" oil seal was replaced?
Any implication for the IMS in this reporting?

Well it is my 7th Porsche (including a 2004 GT3) and teh PPI showed great compression and leak down. Picked her up this am from teh shop and drives like a champ. Nice track/AX upgrades and hardtop (it is a C4 Cab).
