I know that the bearing seal could begin to let go today, so I'm not gloating; just wanted to give a little psychological boost to those who are not rushing to change to the LN bearing; at least for now, mine seems to be just fine.

I plan on keeping the car a long while (owned it since new) and I will do the bearing when it's time for a clutch. And if it goes before then, it's 3.6 time for me.
Thats my plan of attack too, wait for the clutch to go before I do the IMSB.

I also inspect the filter halfway through the oil change period just to make sure there is no metal in it. Some say to put in a new filter after inspecting but I just put the old one back in.
