I bought 2 brand new "IMS" bearings for just $7.45 on Amazon.
They're the same size as a factory IMS bearing.
Can't wait to install one.

Ha! I wonder how long it would last.
I bought these bearings to demonstrate removing IMS bearings in my "education only" M96.
I would only install the IMS Solution.

You have a test M96 engine, interesting

Ah, yes, the famous Penguin Parts - "The Chinese Auto Parts Leader"

Live a little, put one in your car.

SAAWEET! Order a case and mark them up 1000% and make some $$.

Note: I wouldn't run those for a kart rear axel bearing much less in a $25k+ engine! THE Solution is the solution.

Ain't that the bearing KrazyK used?

Ha, that market's already been cornered.

His was WAY cleaner.

Hey - I know a 996 that still has its original bearing to be pulled when you get done practicing! The owner also has a set of really nice hydraulic ramps too! 😀

Available in 8 CRAZY colors! Featuring fruit flavored licorice seals... :evilgrin:

WHO?:rolleyes:

No, he used a bearing assembled by BOCA Bearings in Florida and it was a ceramic hybrid bearing. I used the dual row version of it and when I noticed that it was coming apart, I PM's him to let the new owner of his car (he already sold the car by then) know that there is a good chance the single row he used will fail too. He ignored my PM and shortly after the new owner posted the infamous thread that the bearing failed.

Are you conducting classes now Tex? Consulting? Seems like I remember you saying you took one of Raby's rebuild classes. Am I wrong?

That 6204RS bearing is also used in just about every riding lawn mower made. Has a pair on each blade in the "jackshaft" housing assembly. Can bought by the dozen for $20 bucks...lol

They sell them in 2 packs. OMG!! what a find :) you know Penguin.. Like Pelican.
