I am biased... Of course. I will say that the IMS Solution is what I feel to be the best remedy available, IF you can afford the kit and the professional installation that goes along with it. This product is not cheap, its very difficult to manufacture and has taken years to bring to market in a fully developed form. Because of its retail price of 1,759.00 it cost more as just a component than many "cut rate" shops are now charging for a complete IMS Retrofit.

All of your questions concerning the invention, design and evaluation of the IMS Solution will be answered in the December 2013 issue of Excellence Magazine. We were interviewed for this "tech forum" feature a few weeks back and the questions were exhausting. (I suppose it will be December, but the exact issue is still TBD) The article even goes over our Certified Installer program that requires those shops to follow our installation regimen completely, right down to registering the product and sending in an oil sample from the engine that was retrofitted, along with the old IMS Bearing.

The team that wrote the story installed an IMS Solution and they will supposedly include their overviews in this article. I have not seen this yet, but heard it was 3,000 words+.

The IMS Solution was originally invented to only be used on my engines where it was originally applied. While it may be "new" to the public marketplace it is not a new design. In fact, the IMS Solution was the very first product that we invented for the M96 engine, it precedes everything else; including the LN ceramic hybrid retrofit bearing in terms of invention and development.

Choose any IMS "fix" with great care. We pioneered the IMS Retrofit and with over 10,000 IMS components in service today, all over the World, our reputation precedes us.

SSF Auto parts, the exclusive distributor of the IMS Solution, can't keep them in stock... If you can find one, you'll be very lucky, the last run sold out completely in less than 45 days (BWA Auto has them in Australia and has installed many of them so far). The next run will be delivered to SSF at the end of this month, if you want one have your shop call SSF and get one on backorder. These units are not available for retail sale, and are only for professional installation.
