Certified Porsche IMS Solution and Flat 6 Engine Installation
German Autowerke is a certified installer for Flat 6 Innovations rebuilt Porsche engines and the LN Engineering IMS Solution™ in Oceanside, CA. We help Porsche owners understand their engine options, confirm what applies to their vehicle, and plan the installation.
Porsche M96 and M97 engine concerns require more than a one-size-fits-all recommendation. The available IMS-bearing solution depends on the engine’s model year and configuration, and an engine with an existing problem may need a different approach from one being evaluated for preventive work. We review those details before recommending a path forward.
What Is the Porsche IMS Solution™?
The intermediate shaft, or IMS, bearing is a known concern in certain Porsche flat-six engines. LN Engineering’s IMS Solution™ replaces the original ball or roller bearing arrangement with a pressure-fed, oil-lubricated plain bearing in eligible applications.
Not every Boxster, Cayman, or 911 uses the same IMS-bearing design. Some engine configurations require substantially different installation work, including engine disassembly. We first confirm your Porsche’s engine and bearing configuration, then explain whether an IMS Solution installation is appropriate and what the work would involve.
Certified Flat 6 Innovations Engine Installation
Evaluate your options: If you are considering a rebuilt engine, we discuss your Porsche’s condition and the Flat 6 Innovations options available for it.
Coordinate the installation: As a certified installer, German Autowerke can receive an eligible rebuilt engine from Flat 6 Innovations, install it according to the program’s procedures, and coordinate the original core engine’s return when applicable.
Explain the scope: Before work begins, we review the proposed engine or IMS service, installation steps, expected logistics, and the estimate with you. The right plan depends on your vehicle and the product selected.
