Then he says he patented it but everyone will be making versions of that product with off the shelf technology, were you planning on going garage to garage with a lawyer?
PS If that makes you or Bruce want to swing at my mom I guess I'll accept that for my snarkyness which isn't necessary.

Ghostrider,
You have me confused with someone else. I removed the ball bearing IMSB from the engine with my patent pending design. We didn't just lubricate the stock bearing.
As far as metal impellers, losing "blocks" with water pumps is nothing new when bearings go bad. It doesn't just happen to alloy blocks, but can also happen to old cast iron block engines as well. Cast iron is one hell of a lot tougher to "machine" than the alloy block. One day someone here will have the issue and post about it, which will validate what I have posted and what we have seen with our own eyes. Then people will actually listen, like what has happened now that the IMSB class action suit has progressed.
That said, buy what you want, listen to who you want. In my position it doesn't take very long to realize that the manufacturers of automotive parts are generally the people in the room who know the least about how their product works in practical application. This is why the products that we develop with LN Engineering for these engines actually work; because it is all application specific and is conceived through direct experience, not projections, theories and computer aided design. All those things go into the equation, but its all developed in the real world.
Outta here and all forums for a good while. I have a book to finish and it won't get done by entering challenges with keyboard warriors and arguing with people.
Have a great spring and summer.
