edc Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 The standard filter set up bypasses some oil. These spin on filters are meant to filter better due to the flow. But if you had major metal bits break off the damage is done before it all collects at the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Ush Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Anyone ever used one of these IMS kits? http://shop.guldenbergracing.nl/996/ims-lager/guldenberg-hydrostatic-ims-bearing Same idea as the IMS solution but half the price.

Elmer Fudd Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Sorry to revive this thread, but ..... Yesterday I went shopping and on return to the car and starting up a CEL came on 🤔 it was idling but only just, very rough, drove off and she seemed fine, acceleration was good etc, so when I got home I plugged my newly acquired isoft POR v2 scanner in and it came up with 'misfire cylinder 1, 3, 2 and 'misfire cylinder 4, 6, 5 in that order,so I started to look at camshaft deviation and it was 'camshaft deviation position 1 -9.27 😲 At this point the engine started to labour and I heard an awful squealing and then a grating noise coming from what seemed to be the back of the engine, so I quickly turned it off! Eeeeeek! 😂 So I'm guessing that'll be the IMSB shagged then 😢 After re-reading your knowledgeable thoughts on this, and my questionable ones 😂 I've decided to replace the IMSB like for like, thanks for the link for the bearing ½cwt 😉, replace the RMS, flywheel, clutch and while I'm at it, the complete exhaust system. Any pointers on parts always welcome 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it to your Porsche specialist who will diagnose. Good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it is not your IMSB - do some homework on the IMSB Take it to a specialist as no one on any forum will be able to diagnose an issue such as this without a proper examination of the car.

Menoporsche Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 IMS usually goes from hero to zero in 4 seconds. It could be that but sounds unlikely. Not saying that means your engine is OK though Get it seen to by a specialist. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
