IMS Fix Options - Too Many Choices

[petee_c]

I thought buffers in the oil prevent acidity in today's oils. If you have been left, you can't have acidity. This is what Blackstone told me after oil analysis.

Good to know about the oil level on the ims. Any thoughts to parking on an incline to put more of the bearing in oil?

I just did #3 for under $2400 at a local indy shop that has done numerous IMSB LN engineering upgrades. My original bearing looked perfectly fine at about 25K miles (2003 Single row), but I'm still glad I did it.

My box is a 98 with the dual row. Statistic show I have a higher % chance of marrying a Kardashian than the IMS failing.

If a test we are carrying out next week goes as planned (as it already has with prototypes) you can add yet another option for an IMSB "fix".

I'm a new member. Would someone be kind enough to refer me to the results of the aforementioned test? Thank You.

It's the gen 2 LN bearing - dual row that fits single row cars

Actually my earlier post was referring to the testing of the production version of my "faultless IMS extraction and installation tool".

It's what allowed us to market the Gen II Single Row Pro retrofit kit. The bearing was developed years ago, but without the tool there was no way to insert it into a single row shaft with the engine assembled.
