Re: Direct Oil Feed Questions
When the beatring is removed yo to put a new one in place the IMS will drain out.
The new bearing will have its back seal to prevent oil from filling the IMS.
These cars take 8-9 quarts of oil. If a few ounces get trapped on the IMS that's a nebligie volume.
Happy Boxstering

Thanks a lot, Pedro!
I do have a couple other questions. In one of your videos you had mentioned oil seeping past the bearing seal and getting into the IMS (shaft). If I am understanding correctly, the oil can become rancid and acidic over time, etching the balls and races. So when the DOF is performed and the bearing seal is removed, will the oil in the shaft have the ability to easily drain back out into the pan? Also, if oil can then fill the shaft since it's being sprayed at the bearing, does that mean I would be needing any more oil than usual come oil change time?
Thanks, again![/quote]
