But he is suggesting that he read about bearing failures on several of the boards. But not having heard anything about it in my travels....
As always, I just listen and report. It still sounds like an IMS to me. If that bearing failed, and the pistons hit the valves, it is entirely possible that the crank would be seriously damaged.
He did also mention the supposed issue with the RMS - that the flywheel end caried too much weight and that the RMS failed as a result. That I had heard, but it is a different thing.
JM is the OP. He is now referring to the mechanic. grant - Monday, 2 December, 2013, at 8:46:41 pm |

Put it to your DMV that it's their responsibility to notify you. "Due process" maybe. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 3 December, 2013, at 2:23:05 pm |

I wouldn't bet the farm either, but worth a shot if the right (authoritative) people are contacted. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 3 December, 2013, at 6:57:10 pm |
