IMS bearing

Hello.
Do you know if it's possible to upgrade the stock IMS bearing with your proprietary dual bearing billet HD unit without a total disassembly of the engine?
If it's possible, you will sell a ton of these...
Thanks

No, the engine must be disassembled. The mod requires some intervention when being introduced to the IMS.. We sell the units ready to install, but the shaft would have to be removed.

Jake - It looks like the plastic chain guides in the variable timing control assembly in the head get pretty chewed up after use. Have you made any modifications there?

FYI you will want the 3.8 cams as they are larger then the 3.6. I am thinking of doing this with my 3.2 and then selling my 3.6 I am installing now unless someone buys it up soon.

We have designed our own camshafts for this arrangement....

Blue2000s, Yes we have some tricks for those guides, we line them with a proprietary material to reduce friction and wear.

How much for these cams and will that be a direct bolt in on a 3.6?
