Sorry I don’t have it any more and have to leave it at that for now. I did see it though and it looked a lot like the picture of the broken one NewArt posted above except it was dual row. After being without my car for over 6 months now perhaps I’m more philosophical but I don’t think you can read anything into what happened in my situation and write off all the LN ceramic IMSBs. Maybe I should have had my oil changed more often or switched to the Joe Gibbs oil or installed spin on oil filter. My car was 15 years old with 68,000 miles and the oil was always changed at least once a year and always with way less than 15,000 miles between changes. At least LN gave us something better than the original Porsche design. And when I had the IMSB replaced the Permanet Solution was also on the market but I thought it was overkill at the time.
