Looks like the Buick logo with the turbo 6

Would have loved to see the described follow up?

I just got my 2008 Cayman S and I was about to go in for a clutch service and oil change. Should I ask them to remove the seal from the bearing so the engines oil can lubricate?

Jake, this would have been way more useful if you showed ppl how those intake runners should be removed and refitted

Let me know if you need a test mule for a 3.6 :)

This is the best and most comprehensive explanation I have seen on the IMS bearing and it's associated issues, thank you. I have had a 2006 2.7 Boxster without problems, a 2004 911 C4s which had an engine replaced at 49,000 miles, this car was worked hard. My 2003 Boxster 3.2s had the IMS bearing replaced as a precaution at 95000 miles.

Nicely done! Great to these testimonials.

What! I had no idea! Very informative and I’ll stick to my OEM ones..I have Ohlins r/t on my C2 3.6 manual and love it and this shows, again, that the mod path is not that straightforward 😅 Thanks!

Jake, i just watched a video where lake said not to use either of those 2 products. Only anything with pea is to be used. He clearly said, only use seafome if you wanna blow it up.can you clear this up?

Awesome Engineering!

Congratulations on the R41! I think your sentiment and path is going to be very similar to a lot of 997 owners who just love their cars and have owned them long term. I am going on 15 years ownership of a 2006 997.1 Carrera 4S. Love it like no other car I have owned. When the engine gives up the ghost, it will be a rebuild and Raby R40+ at the top of the list. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼

I've taken his M9x engine building class and Raby is the truth. A wealth of knowledge and expertise!

You're the best Jake ! Thanks for your efforts Sir !

Von Shitzenpants must have been browning his undies all day in court today.

Is this one of your motors? Or stock?

Any updates on this Jake?

But wait, there's more. Act now and you can get a second bearing absolutely free..

Hi again, I just bought 7 months ago, a 2006 Cayman 14,000 miles. Should I remove the bearing seal, like it is suggested on some U tube videos? Thanks

Wow, how simple! Thank you Sir!

What is garage queen status? In my search for a Boxster, I am seeing most cars with 2000-3000 miles per year of age. Very few with even 5000 miles/year. Compare that with the american average of 12-14000 miles/year.

Are the 1.8 the same as the 1.7?

Why take the time to shoot the video, but NOT do it on a real engine? For those of us actually doing the procedure, this isn't very helpful.

How do you feel about 1.8s? Not sure if that's a VW only fitment or if Porsche used them, too?

So much knowledge 🤯 i was so looking forward to getting a 996, i am so worried now:(

Most of the 2006 were built in late 2005!!!

hello Mr Raby...I bought a 2002 911 automatic in 2018 with 115k miles... like new... I parked it in garage and since 2018 I have only driven 1 time around block. ..I just checked oil filter and not even a sliver of foreign anything in it... Should i install your solution, and is it possible with an automatic transmission to do in car?

What do you recommend for the 987.2 2.9? It is a 9A1 and not an M97 like you refer to in the video, but it does have port injection like the M97 instead of DFI the other 9A1s have.

I was sorta surprised that you didn't mention PEA additives, as virtually every Porsche article/video regarding fuel I have seen has talked about the importance of this chemical in regards to keeping the combustion chamber and the injectors as a whole clean, but in reading the comments you do mention the importance of using a top tier gas, specifically Shell, which I understand to definitely hava PEA, ie. Techron, as at least a part of it's additive mix, maybe all of it. SO I have a couple of questions: I live out in the country, and do not have close access (like within 20 miles) of any of the fuels considered to be top tier. If I am using non-top tier fuel, do you think that I should be adding a PEA additive, maybe just a bit, when I fill up, or perhaps some Seafoam? the closest top tier station to me is a Phillips 66 stattion. Do you know if they use a PEA additive? And finally, adjacent to this station is a Murphy (Walmart) station, and they offer an additive package mix at the pump. Do you have any idea what this additive is, and if it's any good or not? Thanks.

Mr Raby=how to make money from german garbage

Where does autocross fit into the "track" category? I typically do short races < 60s. I'm running 200TW tires with a little over 2 degrees of camber. Thanks!

I lucked into a '99 C2 manual for free. It had been disassembled for an IMS bearing replacement and the owner died. I installed a new IMS bearing despite the old one being perfect, as well as replacing the RMS and AOS. At first I thought the car was dumb, I couldn't understand why people like it. I was driving it very carefully and mellow, it wasn't fun. Then I started driving it more spiritedly, now I get it. Initially I was planning to assemble it and sell it, now I'm having second thoughts because it just runs and drives so magnificently.

Thanks, a very useful explanation

Had a 00 Boxster that gave up the ghost due to ims bearing failure. Wish I’d known about this issue before purchasing. The car had just over 50 thousand miles. This was several years ago btw.

Dear , how can I inspect which bearing I have with an Endoscope you are showing. I have an registered 07/2005 997 Carrera 3.6L.

Thank you very much for the valuable information. Do the Durametric numbers/values in “actual values” oscillate or jump during the test or they should hold steady?

Water temps for this run would have been interesting

Thanks Jake, can you explain a bit more how short shifters contribute to this type of engine failure?

What material are the cylinders made of? Steel?

Do you have partners in Europe that also do this process? Thank you

What it means is when you play stupid games, you win stupid prices. Glad you found it. Hopefully you've learned your lesson.

Jake can you recommend a good shop in the Cincinnati area that can do my ims

What about the 964/993 style rubber mounts (non fluid filled).

Nice insight video. Great job, short, clean and to the point. Thanks for posting.

what is your prep process to clean and coat the cases ? is that a dow magnesium type outer coating? soda blasting etc?

If I had another hand I would give you a pat on the back

Wow this is the best ims failure I ever saw

GL6 oils are a big step forward from GL5, especially in terms of thermal breakdown.

Awesome Jake Appreciate your delving into making Porsche the best!

Man what doesn’t go bad on these cars?
