LN Engineering 1060860 IMS Solution Intermediate Shaft Bearing Kit 2006-2008 Porsche

The LN Engineering 1060860 IMS Solution is a permanent intermediate shaft bearing replacement kit designed specifically for 2006-2008 Porsche 911 (997), Boxster, and Cayman models equipped with M96 or M97 engines. This patented solution eliminates the problematic factory 6305 dual-row ball bearing that requires complete engine disassembly to service.

Key Features:

• Replaces factory sealed ball bearing with pressure-fed oil-lubricated plain bearing design
• Includes exclusive adapter bushing that backdates 2006-2008 intermediate shaft to accept serviceable bearing
• Designed to last the lifetime of the engine with no service interval required
• Makes future IMS bearing service possible without complete engine disassembly
• Patented design (US Patents 8,992,089 B2, 9,416,697 B2, and 9,909,469)
• Eliminates risk of catastrophic IMS bearing failure
• Serial numbered and engraved components validate authenticity

What's Included: IMS Solution plain bearing assembly, exclusive MY06-08 adapter bushing, IMS Solution flange, press-in IMS tube plug, bearing support hardware, circlips, bolts, spin-on oil filter adapter, oil lines with fittings, and oil filter.

Installation Requirements: Requires complete engine disassembly for installation. Professional installation by certified technician strongly recommended. Installation requires LN Engineering IMS Pro Tool Kit (106-08-13) and Supplemental Tool Kit (106-08-21), sold separately. Proper warranty registration and pre-qualification procedure required.

Developed by Flat 6 Innovations and LN Engineering LLC, this is the only truly permanent solution to IMS bearing problems in late-model M96/M97 engines. Unlike ball bearing replacements that still require periodic service, the IMS Solution uses the same oil-fed plain bearing technology found in bulletproof Mezger engines and air-cooled Porsche motors.
