Hello,
I have a 996 C2 3.4 from 1998 that has its engine changed in 2000. The car has now 150000 kilometers with the new engine replaced by Porsche. I read on some websites that 996 with high mileage at least 120000 kilometers should be trouble free regarding the IMS failure.
Is this true = do you see M96 motors with high mileage and IMS bearing problems or do you still advice to have the IMS bearing replaced ?
Thanks for all the good work !

They still fail, even if they make it high mileage. I would still have it replaced / inspected.
