Perfectlap at the time I didn't have the choice.
After my IMSB failed and I was faced with a rebuild it became questionable if my IMS was even re-useable. (finding a second hand IMS wasn't easy at the time, I didn't want porsche's new IMS) I sent it to LN Engineering and fortunately they were able to work with it and upgrade it to the triple row and pin the sprockets to the shaft. At the end of the day I still have bearings, not sealed but still bearings, in an oil environment, engine oil. I'm not an engineer or mechanic but I don't like the idea of a sealed bearing in a liquid. I'm pretty sure its the only one in the whole engine. Most other things around this bearing are journal bearings, similar to The IMS Solution. Its just smooth steel and oil, if the oil stops flowing .... well the rest of the engine is also toasted, not because of the IMS Solution.
I was a few months to early for the IMS Solution and many miles away from an authorized installer.
