If you want the best, go for the IMS Solution, which is the only permanent IMS retrofit on the market. A lot of independent shops now do the Solutions, and LN released a dual row version earlier this year.

That said, just be aware that any shop doing the Solution worth its salt would flunk your car in the pre install inspection due to metal in the filter and/or sump, and refuse to do the install.

Have you seen my Car J? Have you looked at my car. You don't Know at all. I was asking about the roller bearing, not you opinion about what you don't know. Thanks for the info about the roller bearing.
And to expand a bit on this feces with LN and their claim of never suffering a failure, which has been proven not to be true, and their 'Prequalification' as absolute dog feces. What they're doing is trying to cherry pick cars that never had a problem to begin with, so it's a huge question weather or not these cars would of ever had an issue with their bearing ever, anyway. So - Not impressed either with Stuck on Stupid comments- i know, it's the internet, or LN's magic bearing that only fixes problems that don't exist. T/Y

When your motor grenades after a retrofit you have no one to blame but yourself.

Has he seen your motor? No. However you act like yours is so special. He's seen a million other m96s in every form of failure. As has Jake Raby. Raby has seen so many failures that he actually came up with a way to make them better. If you want to thumb your nose at that research, go ahead, it's your money. Ferrous metal in your engine is bad anyway you slice it. If you think the roller bearing will pray it away, best of luck. I'll light a candle for you tomorrow.

In several of your posts you're asking very basic informational questions about IMS replacements that a novice would ask. In other posts you're crapping all over the people who developed the most successful IMS replacement on the market as if your an IMS expert. Can't be both - IMS novice and expert
