A little bit of filing to break all the sharp edges from the drill and cutting and presto, a perfect slot for the flange's fittling to drop into, the slot being a little large is fine. Only takes a few min. to do.

JFP, I ran across this alternative by European Parts Solution that EPS says "will last the lifetime of the engine":
https://www.europeanpartssolution.com/ims-bearing-upgrade-kit
Also available at Amazon:

Like LN's IMS Solution, it's supposedly a permanent fix. According to EPS: "The bearing is completely submerged in oil thus not requiring the Pressurized Oil Feed Mod." A slotted shaft in the oil pump provides constant oil feed to the bearing.
At $679 it costs significantly less than the IMS Solution.
What's your take?
