I did this:

IMS Solution Retrofits

Just ship your car to Jake Raby at Flat 6 Innovations like I did and have him install the plain bearing, oil fed, IMS Solution. Lifetime fix.

Just do it and start enjoying life.

His car may not be a candidate for that without a complete engine disassembly. ...and any fix that feeds potentially contaminated oil into the bearing is also not a good idea.

Ooooooooh....

.....well......based upon THAT...



He is so far past screwed, he can't catch a bus BACK to being screwed.


A new IMS is not going to help that time bomb, only delay the explosion.

Thanks for the head's up.

New engine time.

Yikes.

Sorry, Dude.

:ah:

My IMS Solution feeds just filtered oil from my Spin On Filter adaptor directly to the IMS Solution flange. This is the cleanest oil in the engine, as it has just passed through a filter less than 1" from the oil feed outlet.

Do NOT confuse my patented (US Patent 8,992,089 B2) IMS Solution with some other "oil feed" product. It shares nothing in common with those.

Pre- Qualification procedures originated here. Thats why of the IMS Retrofits that we have carried out under this roof (over 600 to date) not a single one has failed. Assuming that an engine is healthy, or retrofitting the IMSB on an engine that is known to have debris laden oil, makes zero sense. If you compare what we actually do, to those who just install an IMSB, then you'll see where the value is. I maintain a 6 month backlog on IMS Retrofits, so we must be doing something right.

That said, the RS Roller Bearing is NOT an LN Engineering product. It is offered by RND Engines directly to SSF Auto Parts, exclusively.
