LN Engineering 106-08.40 IMS Solution Dual-Row Bearing Upgrade Kit for Porsche M96 Engines

The LN Engineering IMS Solution (Part# 106-08.40) is a permanent upgrade solution designed to prevent catastrophic intermediate shaft bearing failure in 1997-2001 Porsche M96 engines equipped with the original dual-row IMS bearing. This patented system eliminates the problematic ball bearing entirely and replaces it with a pressure-fed oil lubricated plain bearing, providing continuous lubrication directly from the engine's oil system.

Key Features:

• Permanent solution engineered to last the lifetime of the engine with no service interval
• Replaces dual-row ball bearing with pressure-fed plain bearing design, similar to air-cooled Porsche engines
• Includes complete kit: IMS Solution plain bearing, IMS Solution flange, press-in IMS tube plug, bearing support hardware, circlip, bolts, spin-on oil filter adapter, oil line with fittings, and oil filter
• Features convenient spin-on oil filter for easy maintenance
• Backed by 5-year unlimited mileage warranty
• Fits 1997-2001 M96 engines with original dual-row bearing (identified by shallow IMS flange depth of 13.34mm)

This kit is designed for Porsche 911 Carrera, 911 Carrera 4, and Boxster models with dual-row IMS bearings. Installation requires transmission removal and takes approximately 10-14 hours. Professional installation by an experienced technician is required. With over 3,000 IMS Solutions installed since 2008, this is the most trusted permanent solution to prevent costly engine failure from IMS bearing issues.

Note: Model years 2000-2001 may have either single-row or dual-row bearings. Verify your vehicle has the dual-row bearing before ordering. Requires IMS Pro Tool Kit or Supplemental Tool Kit for proper installation.
