I'd love to see the failed bearing, and shaft.

The risks associated with experimental IMS fitments isn't for the faint of heart, or wallet. What appears to be so easy, quick, and cheap has drawn lots of people to be their own guinea pigs. They've paid for it, but in this case, the next guy has to. They never listen to me, since they all think we have something to sell.

Over the weekend a guy that bought some products from LN had one small complication during retrofit. Instead of working through it, with tech support he says "I'll just replace the bearing with something I found for 12.00 at a local bearing house, since I am running out of time". Haste makes waste and at some point this guy, or the next owner of the car, will pay for it. It happens every single time.

Ouch! I'm feeling the pain for the purchaser of that car that "just had the IMSB done"...

i too would have liked you to have done the autopsy on the motor BUT you are lucky to not any any bones in this thread. as i stated before many of these hippo-critter tinkerbells could care less about the owners woes....in a warped way they are glad it happened so they can keyboard smak KK.

A little off-topic but how many '99 original IMS failures do you see these days?

That's one of my favorite car sports, along with the Gallardo Lamborghini and the 40GT.

It's OK that you know less about things than you think you do.

Mind blowing! And what did he do with an LN bearing that's been installed??

To Christian and extankerbell - Don't confuse lack of posting here by the OP for lack of progress. It's not my place to discuss anything regarding this situation. But I will simply say you both could not be more wrong. OP doesn't want to drag this out in public. Please respect that.
drag into public, this topic is 6 weeks old so give me a break.

Again, please let us know when you get half payment.

Ask yourself, why KK is deleting old posts?

Heh. I was going to leave it alone - but "what ever princess" manages to pack three grammatical errors into a three-word sentence. Impressive.
