Hi,
I am a private owner of a boxster s 2001. A couple of questions:

I've seen the posts on the boxster IMS bearing. Apparently there can be either a single row or dual row bearing depending on the boxster model.

I have read that up to 2001 usually have the single row bearing.
1.Can anyone tell definitively (aside from taking the IMS out) which boxsters have the IMS single row versus dual row bearing? Does pelican parts sell either? If so, what are the part numbers?

I ordered 6 cam shaft end plugs, spark plug tubes, and respective seals to try to address a valve cover leak, while also resealing the valve covers with loctite. After the entire installation, 3 of the 'green' cam shaft end plugs would slip out, making a bad seal and leak.
2.Has anyone heard of these cam shaft end plugs being defective or not sealing properly?

Thanks a bunch!
