IMS Upgrade Kit Ceramic Hybrid

The LN Engineering IMS Upgrade Kit represents the original ceramic hybrid ball-bearing replacement solution for the M96/M97 engine, specifically designed for 2006-2008 model years. This kit features an adapter bushing that modifies the larger bearing journal to accommodate the included Single Row Pro IMS Retrofit. This design enables the IMS bearing to be serviced without requiring complete engine disassembly after the initial re-assembly process. It is crucial to understand that this product requires full engine disassembly for installation. LN Engineering explicitly advises against boring out the engine block, as this practice can introduce foreign object debris, compromise the engine, and lead to premature bearing and engine failure. The kit is intended for professional installation only, and assistance with the IMS procedure is not provided. Free basic technical support is available via a ticketing system, with Advanced Technical Support (ATS) offered as a paid service for those needing direct assistance from an experienced technician. No returns or exchanges are permitted for this product. Attempting to bore the engine block to replace the non-serviceable bearing will void any warranty and result in engine failure or damage. Buyers must agree to terms before purchase, acknowledging the requirement for engine disassembly and the limitations of support. The product is compatible with Porsche 987 and 997 models, but users are advised to confirm fitment with their specific vehicle type, model, and engine before ordering.
