IMS Fix Options - Too Many Choices

[rp17]

Sound advice Jager. But is the bearing really sitting in oil? Does anyone have a diagram showing this?



Keep the oil to the max level, a good percentage of the bearing is in oil when the motor is not running.

Frequent oil changes (I change oil 3500 – 4000 miles)

With a full sump of oil on level ground the IMSB is submerged in oil at least 1/3 of its circumference. This is why low mileage cars die early deaths with extended oil service intervals. The oil thats laden with elevated acid levels attacks the seal, hardens it and starts killing the bearing with a stage 1 failure.

Then comes corrosive wear.
