Why would you need to sign a NDA?

Well I do have some thoughts.... mikefocke, '01S Sanford, NC - Sunday, 23 October, 2011, at 2:41:56 pm |
The failure happens gradually over a period of many tens of thousands of miles Boxsterra - Sunday, 23 October, 2011, at 10:32:44 pm |
Agreed....the guess above, of ~1% per engine/year failure rate on the IMS is pure fabrication *NM* Gary in SoFL - Sunday, 23 October, 2011, at 11:49:16 pm |
Boxsterra, I get it. You don't think the device is of value. dghii - Sunday, 23 October, 2011, at 11:50:19 pm |

can't really type but the wear rate of a bearing once damaged is no longer linear. Little debate *NM* grant - Friday, 28 October, 2011, at 8:21:19 am |

I'd like think (fingers crossed ) that Marc and Pedro's experience with high mileage cars indicates that if they are driven and maintained a certain way--even with the smaller single row bearings--that these cars will hit 200k without a IMS "event".
