Is your Porsche at Risk for IMS Bearing Failure?
The IMS bearing for these engines underwent multiple design revisions from 1999 – ’06, including both single- and dual-row bearing designs, without ever adequately resolving the issue. Eventually, the M96 and M97 engines were replaced by the “9A1″ engine, the first 911-bound engine to completely dispense with the intermediate shaft system altogether in favor of a system that drives the camshafts directly off the crankshaft. If you bought a 911 from the 2009 model year or later which has the newer 9A1 engine, you are in good shape. The issues can come if you own a 911 with an M96 or M97 engine and how to prevent IMS bearing failure.
