Porsche discloses frequency of IMSB failures.

[1olddude]

Is there any hard statistics to prove the LN bearing is any less prone to random failure than OEM? Have they been around long enough to really have an educated opinion or do we need more time? I assume my 02 S with 13,000 miles on the odometer is a single row and in the group more likely to fail - (low miles and single row = double whammy). I hate the thought of tearing into a mostly new motor and then wonder what other potential problems that can cause down the road, but I may do it anyway. I really don't worry about it too much anymore and I just enjoy the ride.
