I used a Dremel tool to cut the notch, which gave an agreeably clean result.
Leading evidence: 'Use dremel tool' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean result' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

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.

In the middle of installation process of the IMS Solution. I've come across an issue. The AN fitting from the IMS flange is in line with the case bolt. I'm afraid of filing any closer to the bolt will cause a weak spot. Should I continue to file or is this the incorrect IMS solution. Also the plug that goes into the IMS shaft seems to be a little loose, I've not installed it because the fitment seems off.I've purchased the 106-08.40 for my 2001 911 996 3.4L with dual bearings.
Just a guess but when comparing this to the installation manual, it appears that the oil fitting location may have been machined incorrectly. If so, the manufacturer should stand behind it and get you out another one.
This definitely looks wrong to me.
I can't help much, except to note that when I installed my IMS Solution (in a 2004 C2) I did not have this issue - the hole for the AN oil line fitting was clear of the case bolt.
I suggest you contact LN Engineering.
This is not uncommon.
some crankcases have a thicker boss at the bottom than others.
About 1/2 of the engines we see need the passage groove clearanced further into the boss.
The 4.3 I am assembling today, based on an M96.03 crankcase has the exact same amount of clearance needed as what the OPs photo shows. This is not an exact science. In some cases more of the boss is removed than others, and you may even have to grind into the threads of the boss.
This is why the best course of action is to loosely install the fitting into the Solution flange, and hold it up to the crankcase, marking the position of the fitting onto your crankcase. After this is done, then clearance what your engine needs- not what a photo may suggest.
I�ve been dealing with this variable since IMS Solution #1 was fitted.
In addition to the installation manual, did you follow the steps in the YouTube video? It points out what Jake Raby is mentioning. LN Engineering also produced an installation video on the IMS Solution website.

Mine wasn't quite that bad, but it was close. I just held my breath and kept cutting little by little, 'til the fitting cleared the case. It'll be fine - nice job (Hybridiia) btw!
The detailed instructions are good, so follow them closely.
I first made a wooden version of the bearing cover, so that while I was cutting aluminum none of the chips could get into the engine.
I used a Dremel tool to cut the notch, which gave an agreeably clean result. And I marked the location before cutting, so the resulting hole would be big enough, but not larger than necessary.
