Did i get this right  or does the RMS seal and bearing have nothing to do with the IMS shaft failure, meaning that it fails on its own due to a bad design, what I'm trying to say is the IMS, the shaft being spun in place by the RMS bearing or are they not related at all and in different places in the engine.

To my knowledge, there is not relationship between the two, except that both are design flaws that have not been fixed by porsche.
