If it can't, I'll just wait til this engine gives up.
First of all, stop referring to it as a DOF, that is a different product and I believe copyrighted name for that system. The oil fed LN system is the IMS Solution.

I really do not have answer for your question of moving an IMS Solution retrofit. I know you cannot move any of the LN ceramic bearings as the extraction process damages the bearing. Perhaps that question would best be directed at Jake Raby, but my hunch would be no.

Ok, wont use DOF, that's Pedro's solution, was just trying to keep the post short. The only reason I'm thinking it could be moved to another engine as it has no moving parts.

Maybe Jake will comment on that and sorry Jake for using DOF when referring to your IMS Solution.

If someone offers to remove your engine to change the IMSB, don't back away from that deal, turn and run.
