I had a 2000 Boxster S for five years and no IMS
problems.
Sold it last year and bought an
old school 964 C4 cab, which was just
recently totaled by an idiot who ran a red light and plowed into the passenger side with his Ford F150 truck.
I'm looking to buy another 964 cab to replace it
and I still have my 550 Maranello rocketship, which I love.

RMS rear main seal
IMS intermediate
shafts
This stuff has been bantered about on RennList
for years. Best I can sort out is the 996, the first water cooled 911
did have problems with RMS failure causing the IMS to basically grenade the
engine.
The 997.1 (2005-2008) had a beefed up RMS
installed (except for some early 2005 cars) In my mind it was kind of an
acknowledgement that the "seal" was under engineered. The result was far
better IMS protection, however there were still reports of some
failures.
The 997.2 cars (2009-2012) they eliminated
the IMS with a new engine design. Problem solved!
( again, however it's evidence that Porsche was aware of a problem)
I've owned a 997 for 3 years now and I
chose it over a 550. apologies to the F-List.
So far I'm very happy with the decision.
The 550: hey its a Ferrari! What's not to
like.
The Porsche: quick, precise... just more
fun, top down in the summer doesn't hurt either.
I chose the Porsche.
Ken, who
still very much likes Ferraris

Larry, the IMS failures are what we're talking
about. On Monday, September 30, 2013, Larry T wrote:
Yep. Porsche
replaced a lot of 911 and Boxster engines in the early '00s - it's a
pretty well documented problem. I had thought my Oil
Analysis testing might help but evidently the failure and
happen quickly with little or no warning. The German auto
industry had problems in the 90s and are
still fighting the results.
Mercedes made cares with paint falling off, wiring that self-destructed and
diesel engines that had the #1 cylinder become oval. With Porsche,
there's an additional engine problem with the IMS failures but I can't
recall it at the moment -- LarryT

YES! Back on the list for a few days, and already seeing evidence
that cLyde is still the exact same as always!
