Basic math states that Raby rebuilds are a baaaaaaad investment.

This is pointed out during the consultation Jake gives before starting the job.
Again, it's not a rebuild. For a rebuild call the original poster of this thread.

Yes, the only time my engine makes sense is if the car will be kept for many years, or forever. As byprodriver states, that's the first thing I will point out in a consultation.

Big Jake, I have a 3400S Rufster here now, it's getting a Raby 4.0 if I can't save the engine that's in it now.

Here's one more sentence that needs clarification:
Quote:
Additionally, from what I see your new IMS solutions looks like a different variation that essentially copies the oil feed concept that TuneRS developed and use in their race cars
You are confused. Very confused. The IMS Solution has zero in common with the DOF. One is an uncontrolled oil spray onto a ball bearing, the other pressure feeds a plain, journal bearing which radially and longitudinally supports the whole of the IMS assembly with a hydrodynamic film of oil. Both may use engine oil, however the way this oil is delivered and how it is used are radically different. One omits the ball bearing completely, while the other simply sprays oil onto a factory style bearing.
