Charles, once your bearings are sold and installed, surely it should be up to the owner whether he chooses to improve the lubrication of the bearing. Are you really suggesting that increased oiling of the bearing will lead to its failure? I can understand, if not necessarily agree, with your expressed concerns over the effects of DOF upon lubrication elsewhere in the engine, but as regards IMS bearing durability, your comment seems to be nothing more than a scare tactic intended to undermine a competing technology. It would be one thing to say in general terms "we do not recommend the installation of DOF" - we all know and understand that. It is quite another to say that DOF is NOT to be used with any LN Engineering Retrofit kit: that implies that it will cause damage to the bearing (or at least, your bearings). If a customer such as Kirk has chosen to upgrade the bearing AND install DOF based upon his own analysis, so be it. If the bearing subsequently fails, he will have much more to worry about that claiming the cost of your bearing.
In any event, I am beginning to see why TuneRs has tuned out of this discussion. At the very least, seeing as you are implying that DOF will lead to premature IMS bearing failure, don't you think it would be appropriate to give us your reasons?
