Hi, I have been performing the IMS bearing upgrade with the kit from Pelican Parts. I got the old bearing out with no issues. I cannot get the new bearing to fit all the way in though. It is still protruding about 5 mm or less. I removed a double-row bearing style, so the new one will be recessed into the shaft. I guess my question is what kind of beating can this bearing take while getting it in? It was frozen cold initially but has since warmed up. I read that the other end of the shaft pushes on the oil pump. I have stopped where I am because I am afraid I may damage something if I keep beating on it. The engine is locked at TDC, and I have marked the relative positions of the camshafts and the INtermediate shaft. Nothing has budged at all from its original position. What kind of beating can the bearing take? I don't want to compromise the new one. Is there anyway to make sure it is not "popped" or "scored" after it is installed? What do I need to be aware of on the other side of the shaft? Can I damage the oil pump? The shaft has not moved back from the crankcase either. I feel compelled to pull the oil pump off to make sure I have not damaged it already.... If the seal is not damaged after installation, does that mean the bearing is okay? The last thing I want to do is replace an IMS bearing that turned out looking fine and compromise the new one and have it prematurely fail....!!! Thank you for any advice!!! This is my primary vehicle so I need to get this put back together as soon as I can but primarily I want to do it right. -
I have a 2004 TT Cab with 29K miles on it. The motor has been noisey since I have owned it (since 14K miles), but the noise has gotten more noticabale as of late. I have heard a utube video of a 2006 TT making the same noise, and it was said it is likely the intermediate shaft but that it should not be a problem in a 2006 model year (corrected that year). I am attaching an MP3 file that I recorded today with my phone. It is not too great, but I think gets the point across. Halfway through the recording you can hear me close the engine cover. Please let me know your opinions. Thanks 2004 996 TT noise.mp3
