Expecting it back on Tuesday and looking forward to enjoying it with no concerns of IMS issues! I know it's an up front cost, but it's worth it for my peace of mind.

Saw your car when I was there on Mon. 996 c4s with Porsche stripes on the side?

Cool, DogeDen does IMS!

No decals. You were there a day before me. Are you planning to attend the RL Niagara cruise? If so, let's cruise out of the Beach together.

Funny, was another 996 same colour as your in the same spot when I was there Mon

Yes planning on the Niagara run assuming we all get back from Hershey in one piece! Happy to convoy out

Cheers

Thats the 4.0 talking


Speaking if IMS solutions, which one did you go with?

I went with "the IMS Solution".

How much did they charge you if you don't mind me asking?

ggrace

I'm expecting approx $5500 but will update when complete.

whaaaaat?

Dont get me wrong, I am sure its worth every penny to completely eliminate the possibility of IMS failure. Unfortunately, IMS is just one of a few major flaws of the M96 motors.

Definitely looks like this "IMS solution" is way ahead of the LN version though. Congrats and happy motoring.

I had the same reaction Stan, I remember asking Hunter about costs and IIRC it was between 1750 to 2500 as a worst case scenario. I would expect 5k if it were a 997 where you had to crack the case to replace the bearing.
