Project 996 Road Rallye: Part 10


The boys installed the new IMS bearing.  The generally accepted IMS service interval is to replace the IMS whenever you replace the clutch. This seems like a good plan though I would budget for this service immediately if I bought a used 996.  Gearbox removal is not as difficult as the 'box in a Lotus Elise so the cost is not really astronomical - unlike an engine replacement that may be required when the IMS bearing fails!

This IMS kit comes recommended by our friends at Slakker. I visited their shop a couple of weeks ago to learn more about their engine-building capabilities. They partner with Hartech in England for engine components, and they’ve invested in an in-house dyno to ensure every build is thoroughly vetted before installation. With Slakker as a trusted source for engines, we’re even more confident in servicing these cars.
