No more IMS problems and you drive a Porsche.

you can get an IMS bearing replacement kit for the 996 that fixes its IMS problems. Once you do that, you can put a million miles on your Porsche, they last forever. Only the base 996 has IMS issues, not the Turbo or GT3.

Can confirm. Bought a boxster for 5 grand with the upgraded IMS and Rear main seal, and I've literally done nothing but change the oil twice and check the valve lifters in over 12000 miles.

How 'bout a 944? Reliability?

If the IMS breaks the engine is a total write off. The point was to buy a 996 without a working engine.
