Since we don’t have superconducting, helium cooled, maglev bearings, we are left with the same old roller or ball bearings with moving bits that can fail, or diamond like coated, high pressure synthetic oil floated, plain bearings. Seems simple to me.


EVERYTHING can fail. No kidding.

It was an exaggeration to make a point.

What kind of bearing is in all of your crank journals and piston big and small ends?

What kind of IMS bearing is in a Metzger engine?

Physics is physics. How anybody can look at all of the designs available and not choose the Solution is beyond me.

Alright, I will shut up about it and quit posting and go back to actually driving the snot outta my Boxster and see if I can grenade the damn thing and give you a failure data point to share.

Freaking paralysis by analysis.

Just install the “Solution” and get busy driving. We all only get so many sunsets.
