Rob,
If you send me the bearing I'd be happy to dissect it and provide a report on it's condition. The more we experience the more we learn.

Jake, perhaps you should make that a requisite; kind of like a core fee? That way you'll continue to add to your database, though I would think most owners would be happy to supply you with the old one.

Jake, I sent back the single row bearing and the old one to Dean. He should have them by tomorrow. I included a piece of paper with the old one with the motor number, VIN number and the miles.

At exactly 50K miles I thought the bearing looked to be in good condition....but for that rainy day. .. If it goes south, I did not want to pay that bill, ergo the new IMS.

Very glad I did it too!

I wish I could tell you what the maintenance schedule was before I got the car. I picked it up with 46K on it and have been fanatical about it since. Hopefully long term that will pay off.

BTW, liking the new exhaust. Will report what I think once the weather improves and I can run with the top down.

Got it today!
Thanks!
Charles will be here for our M96 engine class in February and we'll be cutting a lot of bearings up for analysis..
