The choice should be very clear to those people that there's only one way to truly solve the problem. I won't try to convince them, because once the development is done, I am done.. I don't sell the parts.

I am a little busy at the moment... Creating another DFI Beast. While other people have just started developing M96 components and entering the market we are on our fourth year of DFI engine development at the next level.

Yeah. They are a few years behind. They know it.

This one is spankin' new out of the crate, built in March of 2013. It's getting fed some Raby steroids.

Can't wait to afford to buy a different make of sports car to put this entire discussion behind me.

Here's what I see...

There are no verified in service dual row LN Retrofit failures across the years they have been available. In another forum, one LN developer recently expressed his view that dual row Retrofits are “…pretty much bulletproof and will probably never need replacing.” In theory, DOF will extend the service lifetimes of IMSBs although its developers have never indicated to the best of my knowledge by how much.

So it's up to you. If you believe a belt is sufficient to keep your pants up, the install the Retrofit. If you're a belt and suspenders type person, then you might add DOF into the mix. If you do, make sure you order a LN Retrofit compatible DOF flange.

My car is single row. For me, I'm planning to install an IMS Solution as soon as I can find a competent local installer.

Best of luck.

PS: My personal view from all the data I've seen is that majority of single row OEM bearings failed because they weren't stong enough. Dual row and single row OEM bearing also failed when their seals leaked thereby compromising lubrication.

Interesting lobes on that cam...
