Rebuild engine from Porsche

[boxster-s-dk]

Last year I got a complet replaced engine from Porsche with everything, because of IMS fault...thank god for Porsche Approved;-)

Does anyone know about if they have cracked the IMS and RMS problem, so I dont have to worry about engine failure again?

It's a 996 2003

Thanks guys

You most likely have the last revision IMS assembly in you replacement engine. The good news is that numerically, that design has probably had the fewest IMS failures to date; the bad news is that they still are subject to IMS failure.

Any engine with an intermediate shaft is at some level of risk from the unit failing. Porsche “fixed” the issue in 2009 with the 9A1 design engine, which does not use and intermediate shaft………….

Thanks...then I hope they have put a larger and better bearing in the new IMS;-)
