I think this because there are other modes of failure that probably have a higher failure probability than the LN IMSB (such as the chain guides).

I could be wrong, and if I am Jake, can you provide some rough numbers as to what the likelihood of any of the other modes of failure are? Are they fairly low?

BTW I'm getting my LN IMSB installed next month.
Thanks for your response, but with all due respect, since my vehicle only has 20k original miles on it, I would hope to find myself in an assisted living community, more than I would the need to replace the IMSB more than once !
