Did you mean this ?

The budget IMS (LN) bearing is now the RND bearing..Suggest you forget the Pelican bearing .The cost increase for using a much better bearing is insignificant in the overall cost of thIMS replacement job + all the wise "while you are in there" work.

My Pelican bearing fitted by P.O. worked O.K. but he failed to remove all the circulated debris from the original IMS failure. Result was the need to rebuild the entire engine.
So whatever bearing you use, the results can be compromised by lack of due diligence .This is often dismissed as excessive. For example the "Solution" fitting Instructions are 33 pages long and the pre-qualification Instructions are 11 pages.
So skill.,specific specialized tools,diligence and strict observance of Instructions is probably more important than just bearing design ?
