L&N bearing mileage

I've only got ~1K miles on the bearing upgrade, having just bought it, so I don't have much to add except this - knowing that the car had the L&N bearing was a _major_ selling point for me. Great to have it.

just passed the 1K mark. Mostly Track. Nothing to report. It still runs and that's just what I hope it keeps on doing.

I wonder how long before the first faked LN bearing replacement shows up in a used Boxster

Thats why we've serialized every vehicle that we have supplied a bearing for as well as every unit we have installed. I have a log book of VIN/ IMS door decal serial number/ IMS flange serial number since day one.

If someone is going to pull a fast one, they'll have to work pretty hard to do it with my name on it..

Unfortunately, that won't work for anyone who didn't use Flat6, like me. I plan on keeping my receipt from the shop that bought the bearing from LN as proof.

Thats another reason why people ship cars across the country for us to do the procedure here.. :-)

Keeping receipts is the key, cars have already been falsely stated in at least two ebay ads that I know of.
