Make sure the engine is properly prequalified for the bearing replacement before doing so!

No, you got it wrong. I put about 15k into a 6k car.

I didn't see anything about "prequalified" on that site. Am I missing something?

They are not the same. The TuneRS keeps the ball bearings......the IMS Solution replaces the ***** with a single bearing.
Look at this. http://theimssolution.com/2016/09/16/how-does-it-work/ You can also look at the pre and post procedure checklist on that link. That is where you'll find the prequal info.

Interesting... I didn't know all of that. I'll probably end up going with TuneRS's DOF since they're local. It's probably not as good as "The Solution", but, probably still better than a non oil injected LN? I think that's reasonable logic?

I'm guessing since it's so hard to find a price, it's probably not cheap either. :-)

Congrats, glad it's all that you were hoping for. Looking for pics and updates on mods as you do them.
