LN bearing failure

[coreseller]

Jake, I don't know how you can stomach some of these asshats.

Tonicristi and porsche-land are relative newbys to the forum with obvious axes to grind.

Have they ever posted up to help someone out?

Has Jake?

There's your answer.

If you don't want to deal with or purchase something from Jake don't, coming onto forums to publicly bash your competition is pretty poor form and very unbecoming...........Just Sayin'

They can't control user names on forums, genius. :

#1 - I've only posted a few replies to Rabies posts, nowhere near close to "always".

#2 - Why would it matter if my posts are unprofessional? I'm not on here trying to convince you to buy something (like someone else).

Can you feel the love? Tonichristi, have you ever considered Inspirational Speaking as a secondary career? I'm totally awed by the beneficial effect of your presence, as a result of your positive energy I hereby nominate you for Oracle Status!!!!

Holy hell, this is all very confusing, Roller vs LN solution now.
I've been away from the forum for 6 months so I guess I missed some new developments?

Too many variables involved to say why one failed when others did not so we can go by the Best numbers and assume that is the best scenario of a well maintained, healthy engine with a perfect install of the bearing and driven reasonably well.

Anyone got some numbers?

Maybe we need a thread "Who drove the furthest on their replaced IMS bearing so far"

I think we know the factory ones are hit and miss in the 20k to 60k range ?

Surely someone has driven the LN solution that far at least by now.

The rollers sound like something new so perhaps the mileage on those installs is not there yet?

+1 on that! Guy has never added anything of value to these forums that I can tell. Likes to bash others for sharing their opinion - but yet it's okay for him to share his ALWAYS negative opinion.

Ok, so y'all are killin' me. Here I am a hick engineer in Texas and the spelling, punctuation, and grammar in the preceding posts is atrocious. If y'all are intent on spewing bile on one another, at least do so without the inevitable obfuscation inherent in poor articulation, grammar, incorrect names, and missspellings. Really, get it together or go get beer. Is everyone else taking this as seriously as I am?

Actually, as the owner of the copyright, they can if they so choose. "Personal use" is not a defense against infringement of the copyright laws.

Someone better let forum members Porsche9 and Porsche Chick know that and they need to change their names. I'm kidding of course, I love reading their post and think their names are cool.

Since people are not happy with this porsche-land fellows post, it's time to call Porsche on him. Childish if you ask me.

Let Jake deal with this thread, as he has done. Any regular poster here knows Jake is the M96 specialist above anyone else that post here. Jake continues to improve his inventions, he isn't set on this is good enough.

Bearings fail.

Porsche Land had a Link to their Facebook Fanpage above. So they sell an own IMS solution: https://www.facebook.com/porscherepairservice/posts/1533054036913282

Interesting is what kind of bearing they use. I did some research in the last days - Nachi, SKF, and a lot of other manufacturers on 6204 bearings. Well, if someone does that he will note that there are a lot of differences between roller bearing and ball bearings concerning max rpm capacity.

Jake, I don't know how you can stomach some of these asshats.

It hasn't bothered me in years. I have learned to make it an enjoyable experience.

I've learned that a lot of good comes from people that start threads like these and often, their intentions are turned around and directed back at them within just a few posts. Often times its like a self inflicted gunshot wound.

[tonichristi]

^^^ More self serving crap.

[Timco]

Durrrrr...Porsche USA served us with a Cease & Desist but we will still post under that name...Look at us!!! Get a life. Yeah, I'd trust my Porsche to this guy......not. Porsche-Land. Are you a real Porsche affiliate???

Same with tonitroll. Get a life and post something worth reading.....

[Redboxs]

Well that escalated quickly. Can't we all get along

If you had been around for awhile you'd understand...........

Jake Raby has been a forum sponsor for quite a few years and has offered countless posts helping out forum members looking for assistance. The other two (porsche-land and tonichristi) have proven themselves to be wannabe whining ********************es going out of their way to abrade ANYONE with common sense.

Doubt me? Go to their profiles and read their prior posts.................Loser Trolls.

What I find funny about all this is "porsche land" is in Schaumburg, illinois. There are a ton of owners who live in the chicagoland area, myself being one of them. Due solely to the lack of professionalism in his posts and by his minion, I'd sooner set my car on fire than give him my business. And its also funny to me that when you look up the guys who are the who's who of Porsche service around Chicago, you'll never find their shop mentioned once.

Sorry for the bluntness of the above post, not really. Calling a spade a spade is very politically incorrect (the ruination of our nation) these days. For those in need of guidance regarding a potential IMS issue, run a search and see who has contributed what from the above factions.

Well I had my LN double row installed at 64,263 miles. As of today the car has 100,882 miles. I have changed my oil every 5,000 miles or so. The last 5 oil changes have been with Castrol 0-40 syntec. I'm still using the stock oil filter set up. I have considered going with the LN set up during my next oil change. I'm still on the fence about it.
I know Jake endorses Joe Gibbs oil. I think he also recommended Motul in the past. The indy that did my retrofit used Motul when he has done my oil changes in the past. I will most likely start using Motul or Joe Gibbs starting with my next oil change. Yes they are harder to get and around twice as much as Castrol. But it is small change compared to the cost of a new engine.
In the end I've decided that I love my car. I drove it for the first time in 5 months today. If spending $50 more twice a year for oil helps my engine last a few more years it's worth it to me. Sorry for the long winded response.
On a side note I agree that toni never has anything nice or constructive to say on any thread ever.

This debate is impossible to win on pure numbers alone because the data simply doesn't exist. People who like to attack their competitors use that fact to create fear and uncertainty among prospective buyers.

The bottom line for me is this. If 1 LN bearing fails out of 25,000, then the failure rate is 4 thousandths of a percent. If 10 fail, then the rate is 4 hundredths of a percent..

I'll take those odds any day when replacing a car part. Wouldn't you?
