Listen up people - as we all know, nobody knows the true IMS failure figures, but lets assume its a generous 2% of all M96 engines fail - and frankly I question even that failure rate....

The Flat6 / LN Engineering retro fit have had a 3 possible failure rate in +/- 4,000 installs - and most installations being performed by out of state independant shops which cannot be a guarantee of 100% correct installation practices. Yet even my rudimentry mathamatics equate this ratio of 3 in 4,000 installs to a miniscule percentage of failures!! A hell of a lot better than the original.
You guys have more chance of flying to the moon than having a LN bearing failure .......
zzzzzzz I sleep (more than) OK after my install nearly 2 years ago !!!! zzzzz
