LNE products "solution vs time honered IMS bearing retrofit

[10/10ths]

if you install the “Solution” you don’t have to worry about checking it with ultrasound or some such to see if it is going to grenade—-because it WON’T grenade.

I've seen a select few people making this claim, and while I agree that it does show promise, there is simply no independent data to back that statement up.

Plain bearings wear and fail, too.

Any friction will lead (eventually....) to failure. If the solution were to use supercooled Helium to chill a superconductor and apply an electric charge to create a magnetic field allowing the IMS to spin in a null void, then MAYBE we're on to something .

I guess the point is to balance practicality and cost with extending life. To me any of the LN options seem better than the Porsche singe row at accomplishing this. Then again, we are just managing failure and attempting to mitigate risk...if you are pretty low on the risk/sphincter spectrum, then stay with the Porsche product. The higher you reside on the freak-out bandwidth, the closer you move to the superconducting magnet idea. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle...although I do have some spare wire around, just need to find some liquid Helium....
