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.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, can't seem to find something specific so hope you don't mind this thread. Looking at a 2000 996 with a build date of Sept 1999. What are the chances this car has the double row IMS bearing? Does anyone know when specifically they switched over to the single row for the 2000 model year?

POST 2Original post

Very likely dual but there is no fast rule unless you look at the IMS flange. You might just need to contact the seller. Check this post were Jake Raby stated: " No, we have torn down 64 engines this year so far. Of those were 8 00 engines and of those 3 were single row equipped."

Thanks this is helpful, seems the earlier builds did have double row but you cannot confirm anything with out a visual inspection.

POST 4Original post

Correct, earlier builds typically have dual, later could be either, no way of knowing without physically checking. For reference, mine is an 11/99 build date with dual row. Didn't know until had it changed with LN retro.

I have a 2000 and I am missing the plate with the build date. I ordered the Vin decoder from Suncoast and it gives me the Invoice Date (01/00) but not the build date. Wondering if they are one and the same.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
