Btw, getting the cover off revealed just how much lat movement is in the IMS (and how much side loading can occur on these bearings...). Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting contaminated oil, moisture, etc don't wreck havoc on the IMSB and its seals but jeez, there's a ton of side loading. IMO, the only true permanent fix for this problem is an oil fed journal bearing with thrust loading capabilities.
