Motor # for IMS Research

Thank you....that being said, would YOU buy a car with smaller bearing and go the replacement/LN route, or a newer, larger bearing car, and just hope for the best?

Six of one, half dozen of the other. I prefer to install the IMS Solution retrofit (currently have two in my personal stable), but if left with no choice but the oversized bearing, I would pull the trans, clutch, and flywheel and remove the bearing's rear seal so it can mist lubricate from the engine sump.

Thanks, kind of the way I was leaning. Now, to find one.......

Nothing wrong with the larger IMS. Just be sure you have oil change history and the changes were every 5-8K mi or annually if < 5K mi / yr.
