You decide to buy a German car, you have budget for repairs. The bigger ims still fails. But when it does, splitting the case is a must. The ims bearing is bigger than the hole on the block. Can't extract it with the tool like the earlier, smaller bearing. Scored cylinders with audible knocking means new bottom end time. Used long block is 10 to 15. New short block is 20 plus 5-10 in ancillaries and gaskets. Rebuild to a 4.0 is 30 and up. There is no such thing as a cheap Porsche.
