Well I could be all upset and rant and rave but what good would it do? I'm not happy but it was either fix it or sell it as a roller. What happened immediately before my IMSB failed probably had nothing to do with it. The other parts that failed were probably collateral damage too, but some kind of foreign debris must have gotten into the oil that was splashed into the IMSB and caused it to fail. Porsche should have used an oil-fed plain journal bearing here in its design of the IMSB IMHO. Since NeWArt now has an engine to rebuild with a similar issue, I wanted to share my painful experience.
