Thank you ray. I've seen that ims guard. Looks good. Thanks.

 

Al if the car's in So Cal I know it and some of it's more recent history. So if in SO Cal PM me....

 

Think how much it costs 1.5h labour, they do not test the oil, no compression test, no dyno, no pulling the plugs and borescoping. Search for PPI. It a list of 100 things they check most of them done from the ODB2 connection, quick test drive. It's a great way to make an easy $ and then come back with a list on wear items that need will need to be done, normally they recommend wear items need replacing when they still have thousands of miles left on them. Why? to make a few more $.

They do not determine predictability of an IMS failure or a complete engine failure and with my Caynene TT can't even detect a catastrophic coolant pipe failure.

 

They do when you pay for it. I always have an oil sample tested by a lab. Same day for 65. Foolish not too. Compression and leak down test too.

 

You have to understand how much this issue gets beat to death on this forum to understand why you are getting a bit of the runaround. There are endless threads on the topic, they go on forever and spin in circles.

I have the Guardian on mine.

 

Got it thanks.

 

Not so cal. Fl.

 

 

Jumper what part of suburbia Toronto are you from. I grew up in Richmond hill.

 

This **** is seriously getting old.

Big Al, you know everything I quoted you stating above plus you are a PCA Instructor(I have no proof of this) yet somehow you do not know how to use the search function on RL.

This topic has been beaten to death, no really it has. According to the info. here on RL the 3.6 is at least as prone to the I#$% explosion as the 3.4L.(IMHO, you have ALMOST the same chance of being struck by lightning as having your I%^& detonate) Yet you start this thread by asking if the 3.6s suffer from #$^&*#@#&&&.

Mederators, quick question. Could you please HIGHLIGHT AND UNDERLINE the Admin. suggestion, at the top of the thread, to do a search before asking BS I$%^ questons!?!?!?

 

Now thats some pretty funny feces right there

Wow. Dream carerra you need to grow up. I'm new to RL, and no I don't know how to research. But will figure it out. Thank you for the warm welcome. And if you don't like the thread then dont effin reply loser. Ray and the few other thanks. I'll be on 6 speed where the egoes are more under control.

 

Dream carerra, one more thing. I didn't know i needed to prove to you that I was a Pca instructor. But feel free to pm me and I'll give u my full name so that you can call the national office and find out for yourself. You got issues man.

Hi big al. This is the info I gathered up before I bought my 02 996 with 105K on the clock. I bought the car, 4 months later, when the clutch started to slip, I replaced it along with the IMS bearing fro LN. The bearing that came out of my car looked pretty darn good fot 105K. I don't think it would have failed over the next 50k but who could say. It's a daily driver for me and was for the PO. By the way, there is an encyclopedia of info on this site about this item with viewpoints in all directions. My advice...do the research, buy the car and change the bearing the next time you have access to it. I was told by three local techs that these cars are time bombs due to the IMS. We all have to come to our own conclusions.
