I have great faith an SKF's testing methodology. My challenge is to make sure that the bearing has conditions that are acceptable. I think the best way to do that is with a freeze plug. Preventing oil from washing out the bearing will enable me to get the SKF rated service like from my chosen bearing.
I am definitely going out on a limb, at least as far as the Porsche community is concerned. You're right, Time will tell.
As to the cautionary tale of KK, he was trying to use a cheaper bearing with inferior ratings to do the job. I am trying to use a top notch bearing with exceptional ratings to do a hopefully better job than what is currently available on the market.
Absolutely without pioneers I would not be in a position where I could take this experiment and have any minimal chance of success. The work of others has put me in a position where I can possibly even incrementally improve the IMS situation.
What I want is a lifetime solution, and I'm going to do my darndest to get as close to that as humanly possible.
And, I reserve the right to cancel my experiment and go with a proven quantity if that is what I determine to be the best course of action. So far my plan still looks good, but I'm always open to being proven incorrect.
