Holy hell, this is all very confusing, Roller vs LN solution now.
I've been away from the forum for 6 months so I guess I missed some new developments?

Too many variables involved to say why one failed when others did not so we can go by the Best numbers and assume that is the best scenario of a well maintained, healthy engine with a perfect install of the bearing and driven reasonably well.

Anyone got some numbers?

Maybe we need a thread "Who drove the furthest on their replaced IMS bearing so far"

I think we know the factory ones are hit and miss in the 20k to 60k range ?

Surely someone has driven the LN solution that far at least by now.

The rollers sound like something new so perhaps the mileage on those installs is not there yet?
