Not entirely sure but I have made a lot of popcorn guessing that the IMS DOF may have something to do with this if it is bearing related.

That would seriously grind my gears as that is the first thing I did to the car when I got it.
It's gonna get teared down so we will find out for sure!

It has been written up on line previously, with those at the shop involved labeled as "liars" and "shills for the competition" by the people that market the product, so it doesn't need another rehash here. My shop, and others, have seen problems with it, mainly oil starvation in one cylinder head, which no one seems interested in addressing other than to start calling names and threatening lawsuits to silence any discussion.
