The one and only solution to your IMS bearing in your 2000-2005 Porsche Carrera or 2000-2005 Boxster.

Most 2000-2005 model year 986/996 have single row bearings- however there is some crossover that cannot be determined until you inspect your IMS bearing flange. Also, keep in mind that Porsche replaced many engines under warranty and even out of warranty, so the engine in your car might NOT be original. Please verify your IMS flange for proper fitment, if you have any questions just ask us! 

From LN Engineering: 

Prevent costly engine failure by eliminating problematic ball-bearings or roller-bearings by backdating your IMS with a permanent, pressure fed oil lubricated plain bearing, just like in an aircooled Porsche. This patented design is the last IMS bearing you will ever need. Brought to you by the team that developed the original and often imitated IMS Retrofit™, the IMS Solution is the only permanent solution to catastrophic IMS bearing failures by complete omission of the problematic single row ball bearing and now the dual row ball bearing.



The IMS Solution became the first Patented IMS Retroit product on the market, granted US Patent 8,992,089 B2 on March 31, 2015. The IMS Solution is also protected by US Patent 9,416,697 B2 and US Patent 9,909,469.
