The "IMS Solution" has some appealing aspects with oil delivery as mentioned. The two parts of the plane bearing being 27 attached to the IMS internal to the engine and 45 attached to the engine housing. The oil delivery, as you stated, is through the bearing flange, part 45, to both axial and radial load bearing surfaces. The axial load, and end play issues, must be minimal or neither this type of bearing nor the "Eternal Fix" could ever work. The oil that is supplied to the radial surface of 27 must seemingly exit along the axial surface of part 24 into the IMS and at the other end of 27, along the axial surface of the circlip part 32 and returning to the oil sump. These circumstances have obvious conclusions. Perhaps my assumptions are incorrect. If practical, you might elucidate on this matter pedagogically but not heuristically.
