OK, a really cool solution: oil gets in the IMS tube anyway so may as well force oil thru it to lubricate the bearing.
Looks like the oil pump is on the other end of the engine though, so more work for my mechanic (wonder if he'll be willing to try this one). Is the oil pump hard to access from underneath with the car on a lift?
They say 5,000 installed. Anyone know someone who's installed this?
I am not a spirited driver, but I wonder if oil starvation on hard cornering could be an issue? And what does it do to oil capacity -- do you need more now that you're partially filling the tube with oil squirting down it?
