Is there enough real estate in the area around the IMS to float a plain bearing with the available oil pressure?
Yes, the opposite end of the IMS assembly (the end that NEVER has issues) is supported by a plain bearing that operates with less oil pressure than the IMS Solution sees.

The difference between filtered oil and just filtered oil requires first hand experience with the internal manipulation of these engines over and over and over again to understand. Thats the thing that most experts don't have.

Let's see? I just did the IMSB ceramic retro-fit at 22k miles. I average between 1-2k miles per year. If I need to change the bearing again after 40-50k miles, for me that would mean anytime between 25 to 50 years from now. Hmm... I should be all set for a awhile. By the way, do they allow Porsches in assisted living communities ?
