LN Engineering 10 0124 250 IMS Solution Intermediate Shaft Bearing Update Kit for Porsche Single Row

The LN Engineering IMS Solution kit provides a permanent fix for the problematic Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing found in Porsche M96 and M97 engines. This innovative kit completely eliminates rolling elements by backdating the IMS to a plain, oil-fed bearing design—the same bulletproof solution used in aircooled engines and high-performance Porsche GT2, GT3, and Turbo models.

Key Features:

• Solid plain bearing replacement with integrated oiling system for lifetime durability
• Designed specifically for engines originally equipped with single-row IMS bearing (original cover dish depth = 19.27 mm)
• Enables bearing update without engine removal, saving significant labor costs
• Includes spin-on oil filter adapter for 100% full-flow oil filtration, unlike factory cartridge-style filter with bypass
• Carries 5-year limited warranty with no mileage limit and no replacement service interval needed
• Complete kit includes: IMS Solution plain bearing, IMS Solution flange, press-in IMS tube plug, bearing support bolt, shim, circlip, bolts, spin-on oil filter adapter, oil line and fittings, and oil filter

Important Installation Notes:

• Requires IMS tool set #10 0125 001 and supplemental tool set #10 0125 003 (sold separately)
• Installation by an automotive professional is required to ensure proper fit and function
• Must verify existing IMS bearing type before ordering—only for use on cars originally equipped with single-row bearing
• Replacement oil filter: use LN Engineering #10 0270 006

The IMS Solution represents the only true permanent solution to IMS bearing failure, designed to last the lifetime of your engine with proper maintenance.
