You're talking about the "IMS Solution" and Groovzilla was talking about the classic ceramic ball bearings.

Two different things
The naming of the different solutions can sometimes be very confusing.

KK's situation is really a great psychological case to study. Whether it is Murphy's Law or " you attract what you think" I can't help but wonder about this situation. KK never drove his car, constantly disassembled his engine to clean dust and replace working parts...all because he feared CEF. All he posted about was CEF and was completely paranoid about M96 engine. His car suffers CEF, unfortunately, with the new owner. Situation like this make me truly believe that positive thinking and positive energy do transfer to material things.

This is much more of an issue for the 'single- row' engines. Long ago we debated using an alternative Roller Bearing as an upgrade in the low-end kits from Pelican and Pedro's Garage. The logic was the KK logic- replace a cheap ball bearing with a roller bearing that may perform as well as a CH bearing.
*** NUP204E-TVP2
We concluded it was unwise and better to use the RND kit for the reasons cited in previous Posts.

surprised there wasn't an update to this thread.
from what i recall, KK sold his car to unsuspecting buyer thinking the IMS was replaced professionally and not with a 50 cent part.
KK's engine blew up and buyer chimed in on a couple of KK threads. KK bailed and never heard from again.
a very long winded debate thread commenced. at one point i had a $100 bet with kcattorney regarding outcome of possible lawsuit.
any news??

BTW, whichever of us loses the $100 bet, I expect to pull a KK and go back and delete every post that refers to it.
It's fun to see those old KK posts from 2013 or 2014 that show at the bottom "Last edited by KrazyK on May 24, 2016." It's very thoughtful of KK to provide a smoking gun to present to the jury.

Just so you know, the 2 you mention is the series, agreed it is classified as light duty (a 3 would be medium duty), but you can't put any other bearing in the IMS. The 04 controls the ID of the bearing, the series controls the OD of the bearing. So if you went with a 6304, it wouldn't fit.
The bearing is not wrong.
