The only one that claims ZERO failures is Jake Raby @ Flat 6 Innovations and he does a very extensive pre-qualification of an engine BEFORE he will do a replacement and has stated he rejects a lot of engines. He only will do a replacement if it meets his strict standards no matter how much money you try to throw at him. Most others don't come close to his level of inspection. Just because a shop can buy the bearing and slam it into your engine does not mean you wont have problems

Because we charge real money to do the job, and because every install is a liability for my reputation.
If any other shop installs a product, and they have a failure, they just say "not my problem, call the Mfr".
In my case, you are dealing with the guy that invented the technology, and holds the Patent. The guy that developed the procedure, so we have ZERO excuse for anything less than perfection- every time.
With over 500 retrofit units put into service here, including the very first one, we still have a 100% rating. That means we've never had a retrofitted bearing fail after our work was done.
Today more than 1/3 of the engines we inspect do NOT pass the IMSR pre- qualification. I take zero risks, and every engine is guilty until proven innocent.
