The dual row bearing has an internal wire lock that requires more force than the single row, which has an external snap ring that you remove prior to extraction.

thanks.
I was told that the engine i have is not an M96, intact an M97. I can tell you - at least based on this am checking in MY garage - it is an M96.
Are there different types of M96 where you need to do more work/much harder to replace the IMS? My car has a replacement Porsche factory (rebuilt) engine from 2005.
The shop (paperwork provided by the PO) who did the engine swap, states a 3.4 engine with 996 codes...
At this point I am totally confused after 20 years of Porsche ownership and trust the shop who serviced many of my cars ...

A dealer just quoted me $2800 to do the IMSS as part of a 996 purchase (specifically the LN). Reasonable? If RMS is done at the same time, what kind of premium should that be?
