This week we received one engine with a failed bearing, it was a late style 06 and later bearing. It's the "featured failure" in this months newsletter that I am working on today because of how collateral damage is what killed that engine.

I received 3 other failure calls this week, two were IMS and one intermix.

Of the cars we have retrofitted here (215 all serialized) we have not had any failures. This is due to the procedure that we employ coupled to the after install support and engine oil that is used.

The factory seals might be fine if they stayed sealed, thanks to oil temps and oils that sees heavy fuel intrusion, they don't.

Sorry if I wasn't clearly asking the question. I meant to ask you about the statistics of the LN bearing not the factory ones. But, mike and jfp have indicated the figures. You don't have to answer if the numbers are right. Thanks,
