The IMS Solution also will utilize oil pressure from the engine to operate. To the OP, when you installed the IMS Solution, did you have any cam deviations recur?

There's a reason why I developed the IMS Solution to use oil from the Oil Filter location, and there's a reason why that's covered under the patent.

For over a solid year I carried out studies on this particular aspect of engine operation. The deviations in OP with these engines can vary by 12-18 PSI based on where the readings are taken from. This is the reason why there's two banks of variable valve timing components.

That means it was installed improperly

The seals have to be removed for the oil stream to work.

That should have no impact on the problem described in the first place, but indicates one error on the original installer's part.

No the cam deviation problem went away as did the lifter noise.

The offer to Jake was tongue and cheek, I think he got the humor. Its the customers part so he can do what he wants with it.

Grant: I replied on the other board.....
