Another poster from Texas, with his own shop, has done the same thing after suffering a spun crank bearing. As long as the LN unit is the correct style, it can be moved from engine to engine..............


Here is 1 of the approximately 120 fully upgraded LN IMS shafts along with a few other upgrades. Some people in our "disposable" world say it is foolish to spend as much money as a Porsche is worth to rebuild it's original engine. Like most people I am always anxious to upgrade my car & plan to drive it as long as I am physically able to properly stir the gearbox. The original engine is now better than new & I can transfer it to another car if this body is damaged beyond repair. I have no plans to replace or maintain the new IMS bearing.
