So you are saying that LN and Flat 6 had nothing to do with the development of the IMS Solution??? Just because you started a LLC to cover your other businesses from liability lawsuits means very little if it is still the same people (George Navarro and Jake Raby).

Jake, you didn't answer my question though, do I get the gold star for exposing your super secret, the one that Charles was going to take to his grave???

I can see how this is significant. It should have had an impact on the class action suit against Porsche as their DESIGN is flawed and compromises the bearing! I can also see why Feelyx's idea got bought out for a patent. Yes, he was working on a direct oil feed system, but that's pretty straight forward. The main project he was working on was moving the bearing out of the shaft. He was focused on using a bigger bearing, but his design also moved the rotational point from the outer race to the inner race. I don't know if he realized that this one change would increase the life of the bearing by 20%.

Who has done an IMS change (New Oil Fed Design Idea) - Pelican Parts Technical BBS
