Wonder if a proper IMS shaft could be developed that uses pressure lubricated bearings like the air cooled motors. Would be a final and much better solution for rebuilders. The kits that spray oil on the stock bearing seem to have found a way to get pressurized oil into that area. Couldn't a flange be developed to hold a pressure lubed bearing?
