Yep, in those 10 years we'll probably experience some failures... I predict that higher mileage engines with the retrofit will begin to have other failures (like IMS tensioner paddle failure) that will get blamed on the IMS retrofit bearing and procedure.

This is already occurring with non retrofitted engines. The tensioner paddle snaps and the engine has ALL the symptoms of an IMSBF but the bearing is perfect upon teardown.

Crap will happen, we'll have to deal with it. Until then we'll enjoy a 100% effectiveness rating as long as we can.
