It’s probably been knocked of by the cat now , and sitting on the floor behind the bookshelf .
Wherever it is , it’s given me great piece of mind during the last 5 years .
I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another .

and I got a friend who bought a 2003 996 to whom I said to do the IMS bearing (I will help). He got complacent and 5 years later had to buy a new short block.

If it were my car, I do the IMS bearing, period, done, no rolling of dice. That is the ultimate peace of mind.
