This is nothing new and there are thousands of factories around the world the same as mine. The APPLICATION of this lubrication technology is new to the IMS problem, but this is not, by any stretch, a new idea or new technology or new science. Direct oil lubrication of a ball bearing is very old and very well proven. It is not going to ruin your bearing. It is not going to make your AOS explode. It's just going to lubricate the bearing, reduce wear, and make it run cooler.

Are those machines powered by M96 engines?

The biggest mistake that can be made is treating this engine like any other machine. Thats the opening line in both my WTI Engine Mechanical Class as well as my M96 102 Engine Rebuild School.

Jake, I hear what you're saying, but at the same time I use exactly the same tools to work on a M96 engine as I do an air cooled 2.7L as I do my wife's LS2 in her GTO. There is no vodoo magic to the workings of the Porsche engines. They are indeed machines and are just as subject to the laws of physics and science that make the machines in my factory work. Are you suggesting that what bearing manufacturers, scientists, and researchers have learned about oil lubrication of bearings over decades and decades should not be applied to Porsche engines because they are "special"?
