Diagram ref no 29.

These high-quality bearings resist wear, maintain stability under loading, and reduce friction. The shoulder shell is designed to handle axial load and keep the shaft from shifting. Both shells are matched to OE tolerances for crush and thickness to preserve ideal oil film clearance and ensure long life.

•  Location: Inside the engine case, at the intermediate shaft bore, flanking the connecting housing
•  Function: Provides radial support and axial control (shoulder shell) for the intermediate shaft

Over time, the intermediate shaft bearing shells may wear, lose geometry, or develop surface fatigue. Symptoms of failure include increased endplay (shaft axial movement), chain rattle, timing variation, and rapid wear of adjacent sprockets or tensioners.

This pair should be replaced during any engine rebuild, crankshaft pull, or when measurements show endplay outside specification. Installing fresh shells restores proper shaft location and timing stability for durable performance.

Porsche 911 1970 - 1989
Porsche 964 1989 - 1994
Porsche 993 1995 - 1998
Porsche 996 Turbo / GT2 2001 - 2005
Porsche 997.1 Turbo 2007 - 2009 (Engine type 9770)
Porsche 997.2 Turbo 2010 - 2013 (Engine type 9770)

Diagram ref no 28

Over time, timing gears can develop tooth wear, pitting, or chain-track distortion, leading to slack, noise, or incorrect valve timing.
Replace with a Genuine Porsche part during engine rebuilds or timing service to restore:
Original chain engagement and cam phasing
 Factory reliability and noise reduction
 Long-term timing accuracy

Intermediate Shaft Sprocket / Timing Gear.
This OE Match Intermediate Shaft Sprocket is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the factory sprocket mounted on the intermediate shaft in many Porsche 911 models. It meshes with the timing chain to drive cam or auxiliary components, maintaining precise synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft assemblies.
Sold each, 2 required per vehicle.

Fits:
Porsche 911 1970 - 1989
Porsche 964 1989 - 1994
Porsche 993 1995 - 1998
Porsche 996 Turbo / GT2 2001 - 2005
Porsche 997.1 Turbo 2007 - 2009 (Engine type 9770)
Porsche 997.2 Turbo 2010 - 2013 (Engine type 9770)

Diagram ref no 28

The sprocket features correctly machined tooth profiles and balanced construction to minimize wear and chain noise. Each gear is dimensionally matched to Porsche factory specifications, guaranteeing perfect alignment, secure fitment, and long service life.

Ideal for use during engine rebuilds, timing chain service, or IMS restoration, this replacement sprocket restores proper chain drive operation and timing integrity to your air-cooled flat-six engine.

•  Position: Mounted on the intermediate shaft (IMS) within the timing chain housing
  Function: Transmits rotational motion from the timing chain to cam drive or auxiliary systems, helping to maintain engine valve timing integrity.
  Symptoms of wear: Chain rattle, poor timing, metallic noise, valve timing error
  Benefits: OEM fit and durability, precision-machined teeth, corrosion resistance
  Installation: Direct-fit replacement; replace with new chain and tensioners for optimal timing performance

An intermediate shaft sprocket that’s worn, damaged, or misaligned can introduce timing error, chain slack, noise, or accelerated wear of timing components. Replace it when:
•  You are performing a timing chain or IMS overhaul
•  You find tooth damage, pitting, or wear

•  You observe abnormal chain noise, jump, or performance loss

Using a fresh sprocket restores the proper tooth engagement, accurate timing, and longevity of the cam drive system, helping avoid expensive engine damage.

About Intermediate shaft (IMS)

Engine Intermediate shaft (IMS)

Design911 offers a complete selection of IMS (Intermediate Shaft) bearings, upgrade kits, seals, and related timing components for Porsche engines. The IMS forms a vital part of the engine’s timing system, and failure of the bearing is one of the most well-known issues affecting certain Porsche models. Our range includes OEM parts, high-strength retrofits, and upgraded bearing designs engineered to offer greater reliability and long-term engine protection.

What IMS Components Are

The Intermediate Shaft is a precision-machined shaft located within the engine block. It connects the crankshaft to the camshafts through timing chains, enabling the valvetrain to operate in perfect synchronisation.

IMS-related products include:

  • IMS bearings & upgraded ceramic bearings
  • IMS retrofit kits Intermediate shaft assemblies
  • IMS seals & replacement hardware
  • IMS service tools Timing-chain related components

These parts ensure that the engine’s timing system remains stable, accurately aligned, and smoothly rotating.

What the IMS Does in the Engine

The IMS performs several critical roles:

  • Transfers rotational drive from the crankshaft to the camshafts
  • Maintains accurate valve timing essential for power and efficiency
  • Supports the timing chains under load
  • Ensures smooth and coordinated engine operation
  • Reduces mechanical stress within the timing system

Without a functioning IMS and bearing, the entire engine’s timing can become compromised.

Why IMS Components Fail

IMS bearing failure is a well-known issue in certain water-cooled Porsche engines (especially early M96/M97 units). Common causes include:

Typical Failure Reasons

  • Bearing lubrication failure or oil starvation
  • Degraded bearing seals trapping debris or moisture
  • Single-row factory bearing limitations
  • High mileage or age-related wear
  • Contamination from metal particles
  • Thermal stress from repeated heat cycles

A failing IMS bearing can cause catastrophic engine damage — including timing chain failure, valve interference, or complete engine seizure.

Why IMS Parts Should Be Replaced

Replacing or upgrading the IMS system offers several long-term benefits:

  • Prevents catastrophic engine failure
  • Improves engine reliability and longevity
  • Modern IMS kits feature stronger, better-lubricated bearings
  • Recommended during clutch replacement or engine rebuilds
  • Increases vehicle resale value due to documented IMS upgrade
  • Provides peace of mind for daily drivers and enthusiasts

Design911 supplies industry-trusted IMS upgrade kits engineered for maximum durability.

This category covers:

  • Porsche IMS bearing upgrade kits
  • Intermediate shaft replacement for Porsche M96 & M97
  • Porsche IMS failure repair components
  • Ceramic IMS bearing kits for
  • Porsche 911, Boxster & Cayman IMS retrofit solutions for Porsche engine rebuilds
  • Porsche timing chain & IMS repair packages
  • Early Porsche IMS upgrade parts
