A teaser: involves working with a tenured PHD at my school who specializes in internal combustion engine vibrations and friction surfaces in camshafts inside F1 engines.
When I solve this simple problem, I will share the wealth. Until then, I need the info on the pressure breakdown of the dual row IMSB.

That's just it. The IMS Guardian is really an engine guardian. If any engine sees enough ferromagnetic wear metals to initiate an Alert, those levels are indicative of some other form of failure that's imminent.
To date the IMSG has saved engines with timing chains failing, lifters failing, valve springs failing and more. All of these failures have the potential to rival IMSB failure in regard to collateral damages.
The fact that the IMSG can sense more than an IMSB failure is not a con, it's a plus. Especially when an engine has 24 other documented modes of failure other then the IMSB.
Interesting to see what you've thought of.. Considering your question in the thread here I have a pretty good idea already. You might want to carry out a patent search sooner rather than later.
