Worth it to 'check' IMS bearing during clutch? Clutch recommendations?

However, as I said before, regardless of the warranty, the product is not for me. It's a solution for only one of a myriad of other issues that can blow up the motor. I consider it insurance. Using homeowner's insurance as an example, I would never buy insurance that would cost me half as much as the house, especially if the policy only covered earthquakes, when you also have risk of fire, vandalism, water, etc.

If I decide to change my IMSB, I'll replace it with an OEM type bearing. I can't justify putting $1850 + labor costs (because doing it myself would void the joke of a warranty) into an engine that I could replace for less than $4000. Now, if I had a built racing engine, then I may reconsider.

And my question was referring to present and future, not the past, when the "solution" wasn't available. So you will not install LN's other IMSB products? Only the "solution'?

No, we still install both style bearings, the hybrid and the Solution.
