Been out of the P-World for some time and we are thinking of picking up another 986/7. When doing my research on the over discussed IMS discussion there is only one piece of info I'm not seeing in the 101 articles and videos I've watched. 

 

Can one tell the double vs. single (say on a 2000 base) from looking at the cover on the IMS when the flywheel is off...or does the IMS 3 bolt cover need removed for proper identification? A bit confused on how to tell w/o going full into pulling git out. 

 

Thx.

LN Engineering has covered (with photos) how to identify which bearing you have by examining the flange cover without removing it: How to identify which IMS bearing

Ahh…thank you. I see the flange depth as the give away and also found this better image  too.
