It's not new that the single row IMSB has a 50k mile service interval. That's been posted since it was first available.
I'd hold out a few weeks before making any purchases... Distributors already have their purchase orders submitted for the Generation 2 Retrofit kit.
Or just install the IMS Solution and remove the ball bearing from the equation totally.
The problem with Insaro is while you may have a back up bearing, that bearing won't keep all the debris from the primary bearing failing from taking out the remainder of the engine. Collateral damage from an IMSB failure is the determining factor for engine resurrection.
