Contrary to some misleading information on the internet, ball and roller bearings are wear-and-tear items with service intervals. LN Engineering recommends replacement of your IMS Bearing as follows:
The M96 / M97 is a wet sump engine.
The Intermediate Shaft is submerged in oil.
Ceramic hybrid bearings only need 1cc of oil per minute.
The dual row bearings used in the Single Row Pro and Dual Row IMS Retrofit™ have load ratings equal to similarly sized roller bearings.
With over 20,000 installations since 2008, the IMS Retrofit™ and IMS Solution are trusted worldwide as the first and best.
The IMS Solution is the only permanent solution that backdates your IMS to work like in an aircooled flat 6 engine.
