IMS Retrofit in South Florida?
I'm considering having this done to my 2005 997 and noticed that LN Engineering has more than one vendor in this area. If anyone has had this done in South Florida, I'd appreciate knowing which shop you used. Thanks.

I considered this as well. My indy shop that does work on my old 911SC (AP Werks/Pompano...Felix) does the retrofit but haven't done it myself. I'm still under extended warranty and I don't believe the incidence is as high as a percentage as one would see on the member boards. That said, if it happens..you're toast and expect big $$$ for repairs. Let me know..always great to compare experiences

Just wanted to update that, based on a recommendation from fellow 6speeeder MiamiC70, I had the IMS retrofit done by J&W Motorsports in Doral. To steal a line from Mastercard:
Cost of buying a 2005 Porsche - $41,000
Upgrading the IMS - $1,185
Not having to worry about ruining the engine - Priceless
(BTW, the old bearing was fine after 34,000 miles.)
