Jorian's 997 reportedly had its IMS bearing changed prior to his having bought it Jeff. Can't say if it was documented but I think a reputable report.
I've heard of a few early 997 3.8 which have had bearings changed, hence were equipped with small bearings. Believe the change happened little bit later in 2005.
I was a bit surprised in fact when I found out my 3.6, which was installed in 2005, had the big bearing. I was all geared up to change it out and whoop, there it was.
