Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The ad says that the motor was pulled from an apparently good chassis which is going to be used for a "project".
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

For a new IMS bearing it looks awful dirty! The LN IMS bearing box is like the Tiffany's blue box I would buy and put knock off jewelry in for my girlfriends in college.
Appears that the RMS is leaking like a sieve. As noted already the "new" IMSB is already covered in the RMS seepage. So when was the bearing changed? Was it really changed?
The ad says that the motor was pulled from an apparently good chassis which is going to be used for a "project". Anything is possible, but you rarely hear of someone pull a healthy motor from a solid car. The pull typically happens if the car gets totaled or the motor is having problems. On the rare occasion where a good motor is pulled, the seller usually goes a bit more in depth about what the project is.
That the seller has a whopping one post (the ad) doesn't help the credibility.
It could be perfectly legit and a great deal, but I think there are good reasons for a buyer to be cautious.
Now if Pete was selling his motor we'd killing each other in the scramble to buy it
And to add to the above, I have done the unthinkable by selling my 1967 911 and a 1986 911. I would gladly become a eunuch to get those back...just sayin'
