Yes, I am informing, or I should say having an open discussion about the process. The only reason I have an MX doing this for me is because of time economy. I am very busy at work these days and simply do not have the time or space for a job of this scope. I have rebuilt a number of engines over the years but all were either motorcycle or aircraft engines. My MX has rebuilt a number of flat sixes of both air and water cooled varieties. He has not done an IMS retrofit. In fact both of the indie Porsche shops that I know and trust have never done an IMS retrofit, nor have they
ever seen a failed IMS. I know we all get the impression that these engines are blowing up everywhere, but I think it's much more rare than it seems to us. If I were in a major metro area, than perhaps I might have easily found an IMSB experienced shop.
Having worked on Porsche cars before, I'm sure he is very familiar with Pelican and likely used their procedure because it appeared to be detailed and well thought out. I only asked him about it because of what I've read here.
