I see a single example of an EPS failure, out of context, from an allegedly non-neutral source, followed by reports of failure from LN products.
It wasn't out of context. You brought up EPS, and I shared my thoughts on the company and their IMS bearing product. I mentioned Hartech, UK because they are probably the most respected Porsche engine rebuilding company in Europe and have strong opposition towards the EPS roller bearing for reasons I've mentioned.

Without getting philosophical on the whole "perfect" word, the IMS Solution which is an oil fed plain bearing, is engineering "perfection". The oil fed plain bearing is a proven design for this application and found in the 996 Mezger engines and all 911 engines that predate it.

Like EPS' idea to bore into the crankcase to remove the large single row 6305 bearing found in the 997 and 987 cars, weakening the oil pump drive is a bad idea. Therefore... We agree!

EPS has full rights to become a Rennlist sponsor, become well established and active on this forum, as well as debate the merits of any products they create and/or sell.
