European Parts Solut 987997IMS58 IMS Bearing Upgrade Kit Porsche M97 Open Engine

The European Parts Solution IMS Bearing Upgrade Kit provides a permanent solution to prevent catastrophic engine failure caused by the notorious Porsche intermediate shaft bearing issue. Designed for open engine installations during rebuilds, this kit is engineered for Porsche 997 (2005-08), Boxster 987, and Cayman 987 models equipped with M97 engines.

Revolutionary Patented Cylindrical Bearing Technology:

• Features a custom German-made 15mm cylindrical bearing with patented thrust control system
• Separates axial load from radial load for superior performance and longevity
• Over 12 times the load capacity of traditional ball bearing solutions
• Thrust load carried on entire perimeter of outer race, not on roller sides
• Free-wheeling roller design eliminates side contact and premature wear

Complete Kit Includes:

• Patented cylindrical bearing assembly designed for lifetime engine durability
• All necessary hardware and components for professional installation
• Backed by comprehensive 5-year warranty
• Comprehensive installation instructions

This upgrade permanently eliminates the IMS bearing failure risk that has plagued M96 and M97 Porsche engines. Unlike other cylindrical bearing solutions that apply thrust loads to the rollers themselves, the EPS patented design distributes axial loads across the entire outer race perimeter. This innovative approach prevents roller compromise and ensures the bearing will last the lifetime of the engine. Professional installation is strongly recommended, with proper timing lock procedures essential during installation.
