There. I said it.
How many of the plain bearings on the OTHER end of the IMS shafts have failed?
I had to stop to refuel, so I figured I reply.

The plain bearings on the other end of the shaft are not on the bulk of the load.
Like I said, it looks promising. But, since I'll never change my original dual row bearing anyway, it really doesn't apply to me.
My point was that an opinion is just an opinion.
Looking at it from an engineering standpoint, they will fail. It's just a matter of when and whether or not they will outlast the engine/car.
The added friction could also cause wear on the shaft which isn't built (hardened) for that type of bearing/friction.
