2006-2008 IMS bearing design opinions

[Jake Raby]

Service the engine every 6 months/ 5K miles.

This is all you need to do in our direct experience. With a decade of time in service the M97 diameter IMSB has proven effective in every application except track service. Why? The larger diameter of the bearing has increased surface speed of the balls and cage, which are outside the optimum rating when sustained RPM exists.

We have seen TWO M97 IMSB failures from all time street cars in the past decade.

All the products I developed for the M97 were a waste of time, and few of them hit the market, all of those that did make it to the market were aimed toward engines requiring a full tear down, and build. The IMS Solution can be fitted to the M97 shaft with these developments, and thats one example.

Just drive it, and change the oil. Don't add anything else, all you'll do is create another problem.
