I have...

...the "IMS Solution" and she's working fine.

One point about the "IMS Solution" that folks seem to miss, and I think this is important, especially to folks like the poster about with 122,000 miles on his car, is that the "IMS Solution" can be transferred to a new engine or reused in a rebuild.

So, the idea that installing the "Solution" on a high mileage engine is a waste of money, is not correct.

The "Solution" has no moving parts and the bearing surfaces have a "diamond like coating" that is extremely long wearing.

If you install a "Solution" and then the engine fails later on, you can reuse your "Solution" on the new engine, or the rebuild.

I wasn't even thinking about that, but I had heard it before. It slipped my mind, thanks for reminding me of that info.
