Addressing Common Engine Issues

The M96 engine, known for its distinctive sound and impressive power, is a staple in many Porsche models. However, it has its share of issues, the most notable being the Intermediate Shaft (IMS) Bearing. This engine, used in the 996 and the first-generation 997, as well as the 986 and early 987 Boxster and Cayman models, is prone to IMS bearing failures.

What is an IMS Bearing?

The Intermediate Shaft (IMS) runs through the center of the engine, connecting to the camshafts via a chain. The IMS bearing is critical for maintaining proper camshaft timing. When the lubricant in the IMS bearing housing leaks out or dries up, the bearings overheat and start to disintegrate. This can lead to significant engine damage as metal debris spreads through the engine, potentially causing catastrophic failure.
