You need to step back and look at this objectively; the aftermarket ceramic hybrid is an unknown that you are risking your engine on. It also is an "open" bearing design, which means it does not have anything on the rear to keep the IMS shaft from flooding with oil, so you will need to fab a plug for the shaft in order to use it. I also love the single review on the vendor's website.

The Pelican bearing is basically similar to the OEM bearing, which is know to be a problem. So you need to ask yourself if you want to replace a known problem with another one.......
