It's not up for discussion fellas.. Please don't guess.

We will be revealing he technology and offering it to the owners of my engines first. Then those we have carried out a single row IMSR will be able to learn about and take advantage of it. The rest will have to wait till the Excellence feature.

It's not even mentioned on our own website, because it doesn't need to be discussed at this point. I never should have mentioned it here, so lets keep from hijacking the post and just move on ;-)

I love developing things and procedures but I hate the rest of it with just as much passion.

Jake...is your background mechanical engineering or marketing? You are clearly very good at both! Congrats.

Sorry for instigating trouble Jake. Just trying to have fun. I won't say another word. But... many of us are closet gear heads, so it does make for thought provoking discussion.

I'll go first:

How about... roller bearing instead of ball bearing?


It will be a friction bearing, just like the other end, at the oil pump.

Yes I dont think our community has yet realized how important people and companies like Jake and Flat-6 are. Yes I wish Jake was a little more "fuzzy" but I think he has been beaten up by so many he is giving up. This car is the 928 all over again and it is going to take people with a passion for the car to keep it going.
