Everyone who makes a bunch of money on these kits has an interest in telling you DOF is critical and your engine will fall apart if you don`t have it installed.

Actually, apparently now if you have an IMS kit to sell you have to add DOF to it, otherwise it won`t sell, regardless of being necessary or not. I just looked at the EPS website about the roller bearing and it`s kind of funny that they also add DOF in their kit even though they think it`s unnecessary

Just watched the PCA Spotlight: Types of IMS bearing retrofit kits youtube video that has Jake Raby in it and they put up a notice that you can remove the seal and there is no need for direct oil feeding.



So what's all the hype over the direct oil feeding solutions?

That`s what I`m talking about.

Man this pisses me off. Pedro is straight up lying. Pedro says the oil is lower then it actually is and the bearing will shed all the oil and does this on video. PCA says you can remove the seal and be just fine with the engine oil keeping the bearing lubricated.

My apologies Homeoboxter, you are correct.

Pedro says the "DOF" is patented, JFP in PA says Jake Raby has the patent on it, I put up the video with the words coming out of Pedro's mouth that the part is patented. JFP in PA comes back and says that's still wrong. So I go to checking on the patents and Jake Raby does have the patent on it under IMS Sollutions LLC.

My apologies JFP in PA, you are correct and here is the patent on it.
