a fabrik new engine. Cost a lot of money !
We rebuilt the 996/997 engines….a lot less money !!
And we have our modifications (much better engine).
We also have the steel-sleaves for the 996/997.
We make them better and stronger….
Look for MH1237 on youtube..and find our convertion 3.6 into 3.8 (400PK).
What’s a rubber mallet?
it would be a lot more helpful if you used terms like bank 1 and bank 2, that way people dont have to guess which side you’re referring to when saying right and left, it would clarify imo
Respect to u guys that u want to answer to our questions!
Any idea on the time frame for this, my manuals are all giving very different times to even pull the transmission (5-14 hours) and then I’m thinking an hour for actual bearing replacement??
VERY NICE AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO. Do you have a video to change the Cluth for a 2000 996?
This video is extremely well done.
The IMS bearing is on the flywheel end of the M96 engine (996/986). The intermediate shaft functions to drive the camshafts via chains. The factory sealed IMS bearing is subject to wear and failure. If the bearing fails in operation, the engine will be severely damaged. Porsche does not sell the bearing (comes only with a new intermediate shaft, ie. engine teardown required), The basis of this video is replacing the bearing only using an aftermarket bearing.
What is IMS? Never heard or saw it till today.
Awesome, appreciate!
