.... and IMS returns pretty much all the same thing; some Gore-Gallery stuff nobody wants to see. Btw my bearing is in the 1st survey category, of course (cough's)

Wow, that looks kind of like Negan's baseball bat, Lucille.

...the "IMS Solution" and she's working fine.

One point about the "IMS Solution" that folks seem to miss, and I think this is important, especially to folks like the poster about with 122,000 miles on his car, is that the "IMS Solution" can be transferred to a new engine or reused in a rebuild.

So, the idea that installing the "Solution" on a high mileage engine is a waste of money, is not correct.

The "Solution" has no moving parts and the bearing surfaces have a "diamond like coating" that is extremely long wearing.

If you install a "Solution" and then the engine fails later on, you can reuse your "Solution" on the new engine, or the rebuild.

Ok, my mechanic said it looked fine.
He's LN certified so I am assuming he would know. Still glad I did it. Probably will not do again until I pass 75k on it regardless of years.
With that said, I am starting to think these little cars are tougher than we give them credit for. I'm not an engineer, just a hunch based on the # of people racing them. Glad I bought a 986. Zero regret.

Good bearing = clean engine = long life for replacement.

I wasn't even thinking about that, but I had heard it before. It slipped my mind, thanks for reminding me of that info.
