Early rebuilds used the smaller / problem IMS while later rebuilds used the larger more reliable IMS.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 1999 cabriolet and back in 2010 I replaced the engine (factory rebuilt). The engine serial number is M96701AT66X67319. How do I decode this number? AT means it's rebuilt. The last number is "9", does it mean the engine was rebuilt in 2009? The reason for my question is to identify the IMS bearing in the engine. Early rebuilds used the smaller / problem IMS while later rebuilds used the larger more reliable IMS. Tell me what you think. Thanks Bob

POST 2Original post

Quotes source post: 11966416

ANY factory reman Porsche engine (M96/97) built after 2004 will have the oversized IMS bearing in it, period. It does not matter if the engine core was early or late, the reman year was the cut off. Your number decodes (66X) to 2010 build.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for setting me straight! Curious do any of the other numbers have any meaning? Bob

POST 4Original post

Yes, the numbers and letters before AT indicate the class of the engine and build location, the numbers after the 66X are the engine's serial number.

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