If you want to get fancy, you can limit your search results by adding additional terms...

Punctuation & symbols that Google Search recognizes
Even though the symbols below are supported, including them in your searches doesn’t always improve the results. If we don't think the punctuation will give you better results, you may see suggested results for that search without punctuation.
Note: When you search using symbols, don't add any spaces between the symbol and your search terms. A search for -dogs will work, but - dogs will not.
Symbol and what you can use it for
+ Search for Google+ pages or blood types
Examples: +Chrome and AB+
@ Find social tags
Example: @agoogler
$ Find prices
Example: nikon $400
# Find popular hashtags for trending topics
Example: #throwbackthursday
- Remove words
When you use a dash before a word or site, it excludes results that include that word or site. This is useful for words with multiple meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar the animal.
Examples: jaguar speed -car and pandas -site:wikipedia.org
Connect words
When the dash is in between multiple words, Google will know the words are strongly connected.
Example: twelve-year-old dog
_ Connect two words like quick_sort. Your search results will find this pair of words either linked together (quicksort) or connected by an underscore (quick_sort).
" When you put a word or phrase in quotes, the results will only include pages with the same words in the same order as what's inside the quotes.
Note: Only use this if you're looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you'll exclude many helpful results by mistake.
Example: "imagine all the people"
* Add an asterisk within a search as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms. Use with quotation marks to find variations of that exact phrase or to remember words in the middle of a phrase.
Example: "a * saved is a * earned"
.. Separate numbers by two periods without spaces (..) to see results that contain numbers in a given range of things like dates, prices, and measurements.
Example: camera $50..$100
Use search operators to narrow down results. Search operators are words that can be added to searches to help narrow down the results. Don’t worry about memorizing every operator - you can also use the Advanced Search page to create these searches.
Note: When you search using operators, don't add any spaces between the operator and your search terms. A search for site:nytimes.com will work, but site: nytimes.com will not.
Operator and what you can use it for:
site: Get results from certain sites or domains. For example, you can find all mentions of "olympics" on the NBC website, or any .gov websites.
Examples: olympics site:nbc.com and olympics site:.gov
link: Find pages that link to a certain page. For example, you can find all the pages that link to google.com.
Example: link:google.com
related: Find sites that are similar to a URL you already know. If you search for related sites to the time.com, you'll find other news publication sites you may be interested in.
Example: related:time.com
OR If you want to search for pages that may have just one of several words, include OR (capitalized) between the words. Without the OR, your results would typically show only pages that match both terms.
Example: world cup location 2014 OR 2018
info: Get information about a URL, including the cached version of the page, similar pages, and pages that link to the site.
Example: info:google.com
cache: See what a page looks like the last time Google crawled the site.
Example: cache:washington.edu

But yes with the current state of things the "thread that is never read" would probably break IB due to the number of posts that would get merged in.
The problem is that everything you ask has been asked before. Many times. Many many times. While there isn't a definitive "this is what causes the failure", there is a pretty strong theory by the person that possibly knows more about that stupid bearing than Porsche themselves do. The solution is more well understood. You replace it. Plain and simple.
Where all these threads eventually devolve to (regardless of some members best efforts to derail it with far more entertaining content) is pissing matches about when you should do it and what option you should use. There are reasonable and intelligent arguments (as well as many less so) for all the possibilities, but what it really comes down to is:
If it is detracting from your enjoyment of the car then replace it now.
If not make it part of your next (and future) clutch jobs as the cost is negligible at that point.
Which option you go with is also somewhat personal too, but if you aren't going to keep the car long term then the LN option is your best bet for resale value.

I'm not sure if John knows but there is a IMS section/sticky for such discussions. It was created by the mods at the request of members to keep it all in one spot. It was working actually pretty good until a couple weeks ago.

My take, albeit I am no a engineer/mechanical guru/interweb pro, on the whole IMSB issue (hysteria) is this:
-yes it is a problem in these engines
-depending on the model it's slightly less of a problem
-there are things an owner can do to mitigate the issue and or easy his or her troubled mind
-it's a car, all cars will come to the end of their useful service in one way or another
-in any automobile engine failure sucks, last I checked a replacement engine for my truck was around $11000 and it's a lowly ford.
-if the impending demise of your M96 worries you, there are 2 plans of attack:tear it down and replace the suspect areas then maintain it to a standard that makes you feel comfortable or sell it. Be done.
-porsche did all they will ever do to address the issue, they have moved on maybe we should just accept this reality.
-***** are good, isn't this why we are all here anyway?
It all comes down to a persons comfort level with the risk. When I jump in my car and blast off into the mountains my worries disappear and I fricken love my C2! Does this issue cross my mind? Sometimes, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. However if I decide I will be keeping the car long term I will send it off to Callas Rennsport to get torn down and the issues addressed.
Go drive your car, enjoy it! Use this forum as is intended, for info and sharing experiences with like minded people.
Oh ya I almost forgot, more ***** please.

If your engine blows up you may want to read this http://www.imsporschesettlement.com/faqs/#qq5 as you may have a claim...
