Great video! I’m getting ready to swap 3.2L into my 99 2.5L and was going to service and check IMS while engine is out. This is fantastic video to guide me. Thank you
Awesome video mate, I am considering buying one of these cars and will no doubt be doing this at one point in the future, even as preventative maintenance when it's time for a clutch
Removing the clip is straightforward - if I remember correctly I just put a nail in the hole that is in the end and was able to wind it out. Not sure what you are referring to for your second point.
I used the dual row retrofit: lnengineering.com/products/the-definitive-guide-and-faq-for-porsche-ims-bearings/ims-retrofit/dual-row-ims-retrofit-kit-for-my97-01.html. I did want to use the IMS Solution which is a more permanent (and expensive) answer, but it wasn't available at the time.
As a car guy and Porsche hopeful, I really enjoyed your presentation and following your process. Nice work!
Thanks 👍coilovers next

Good luck!
Hi Steve, Great video on the IMS. Laurie says hi. Claudio
Thanks - Now there's a name I didn't expect to see! Thanks hope all is well and say hi to Laurie.

Thanks - definitely do the IMS and RMS if you are in there doing the clutch
Really enjoyed this great explanation of fitting new bearing would you say that a badly worn ims bearing would throw up a cam variation fault code
Thanks. I doubt it, but you never know. A badly worn bearing will most likely cause catastrophic engine failure!
Nice set of videos, what was the old bearing like?
Thanks. The old bearing was perfect! Honestly I was expecting it to be fine, but it’s nice peace of mind to have the ceramic update in there.
You did not show how to remove the clip to hold the bearing in and to install the up before the bearing

Nice job, and what is the mileage of the car ?
65K my mistake 😁
Which kit did you use to do your replacements?
