IMS Bearing Replacement

The IMS (intermediate shaft) bearing is a geared shaft that runs through and extends out from the front and rear of the engine. The function of the intermediate shaft is to use the mechanical rotation of the engine’s crankshaft to indirectly drive the camshafts on either side of the engine. This bearing may be small but is very important to the performance of a Porsche engine. Get ahead of the problem and schedule an appointment with The Factory if you suspect IMS bearing failure.

IMS Bearing Upgrade

One of the most common issues Porsche is known for is the plagued Intermediate Shaft Bearing. This bearing is crucial to keep the engine in time. The IMS bearing is known to fail or shatter without any warning. Why install another Genuine bearing? At The Factory, we take pride in educating our customers with 996 or 986 models to alleviate the worry of catastrophic engine damage. We have multiple solutions for IMS replacements including Ceramic Bearings and Oil Pressure Fed Conversions. Call us today for more information!

Do you have an instrument panel repair with failed pixels or a faulty display? We offer refurbishment services for select models saving you thousands of dollars.

Are you tired of the same part failing over and over again even though it is a Genuine product? We pride ourselves on using Factory parts but sometimes Factory isn't enough. We utilize application specific aftermarket parts in certain cases.

Cooling System Pinning

Some 911 Turbo models are equipped with a glued together cooling system. After some age, many owners experience the joy of your cooling system rapidly and unexpectedly draining, leaving you with the hassle of a major coolant leak repair and sizable mess. At The Factory, We prevent this from ever happening by converting your glued together fittings to a pinned fitting system. No more worrying about an unexpected failed cooling system. We strongly recommend this as a preventative maintenance item!
