Based on my direct experience the problem is the application of a ball bearing. The constant that I have mentioned in this thread applies to every IMS Bearing equipped engine from 1997-2008.
Opinions will vary and mine is very biased. Some contend the exact opposite of this.
The attendees of my class just learned of this constant today. Their jaws dropped when I held the bearing in my hand and illustrated just one thing. I could see the "dots connect" pretty quickly, then came the comments.
Tony is going over the IMSR procedure now in class :-)
