Good luck. All I have interfaced with were sworn to secrecy and would mention nothing.
If anyone is looking for a false sense of security that the IMSR will create a bulletproof engine, you won't get it with me. The IMS just happens to be ONE OF the 21 modes of failure that we have documented, it is also one of the only ones that can be applied with the engine together and in the car, lots of others cannot.. Thats thanks to a lot of effort related to the development of the procedure that was not mainstream until March of 2009! Prior to that what we are doing now was considered "impossible" and it is still considered that way by Porsche.
A few months ago a board member here suffered an IMS failure while waiting for his slot on my schedule for the procedure.
This has happened to a couple of other people that have reservations due to the time in service that the bearings have and the procedure. To be quite frank, anyone who doubts the procedure should not do it at all, if you are that negative, stubborn and reserved then just await your destiny and hope for the best, whatever that may be. Don't even call me and waste the time of both of us.
We will not complete a process for a client if they do not trust our technology, knowledge and enthusiasm 100%. Any doubt at all is too much. I also do not make promises or give people false hope that the bearing will be the ultimate fix for everything related to the engine. Some people think this is the case, because they don't understand mechanical things that will always wear out, will always break and will never be predictable.
As we write our book on the M96 engine and its assembly we have found all sorts of conflicting sales numbers and dates, my co-author Dr. Smith has been researching that for quite some time.
The numbers that you'll never find are related to how many of those vehicles sold required serious mechanical intervention both while under warranty and out of warranty.
If you want to do the IMSR then we want to help you. If you don't believe in it, just do your own thing and enjoy your Porsche, but if you do become a statistic I wouldn't bother admitting that you were one of the "chosen few".
When its time, its time... Heart transplants don't make Humans immortal, and IMS retrofits don't make engines immortal-
The opposition can complain all they want about the procedure, because just the fact that the IMSR is an OPTION with the engine installed into the car is a miracle. Before the procedure was made public if your IMS bearing STARTED to fail you REQUIRED a new engine, there was no option.
After I saved just ONE engine with the procedure I had already been successful. We began ONLY doing "salvation work" with the retrofit, it was the DEMAND from the following that made the preventive procedure go viral.
