A full ceramic bearing would cost around 3K per unit to have made. On top of that the compatibility between the ceramic balls and the hardened steel races is NOT an issue. The only time it becomes an issue is when debris contamination finds its way between these surfaces.

This will happen with any portion of the engine, not just the IMSB, the same things happens with cylinder and piston wear, and the list goes on.

Just ship your car to Flat 6 Innovations and have them do for you what they did for me and start enjoying that car and living life.

Just do it.

The sooner you do, the sooner you can sleep at night
That makes too much sense. Thats too easy.
