What is the name/manufacture of the sin bearing?

It does not matter what triggers it. What the Guardian will do is alert you to the fact that there is substantial ferrous grit accumulating in the oil system; regardless of where it comes from, it is an extreme danger to the engine and requires immediate cessation of running the engine until it can be examined to find out why it was triggered. Without it, you would blindly continue to grind the Hell out of the internal components until total failure occurred. Could be an IMS issue, could be a cam or cam follower coming apart, could be a rod or main failing, or any one of a number of common failure points; but it still would be caught before it tore the engine apart, and possibly allow the engine to be saved.

Are we a little grouchy today epapp?? Sheesh! I sent you to that Feelyx thread in your quest for bearing #s, not because I thought he found the Holy Grail. Sheesh!



Remember the first rule of business success: People buy from sellers they like. Smile and be nice. Show appreciation when others round up data on your behalf. It works.

Haha, well it certainly wasn't written in a grouchy tone. More so I was miffed that a guy with all the right equipment to do a good bearing test wasn't doing it properly! (Seriously, how could anyone think that testing a bearing for 200+ days with no load would be any comparison to a M96 IMSB??)

But I just couldn't understand how the OP could gather such a following when all the effort he was putting fourth was going to waste (at least from what I saw, maybe he did add a load to the bearing later).

I also don't plan to make a living from this idea I have, but I do hope it to help many other people. Buuuut, if someone wants to send me a new coolant reservoir, you'll get the first of my IMSB health concoctions
