My primary objection is that the LN part is a much higher risk than the OEM part. As the bearing engineer that posts here has stated, engine oil is not suitable for lubricating a bearing. And as I (and others) have stated, even if engine oil was suitable, splash lubrication is not enough to keep a fast-spinning bearing lubricated.
Not a stupid question. Some internal combustion engines have ball bearing supported cranks... MarcW - Friday, 28 January, 2011, at 1:36:12 pm |

This may be a stupid question, but doesn't the crankshaft in any engine have bearings that support it, and aren't those bearings lubricated by engine oil? If engine oil doesn't lubricate the crankshaft bearings, what does?
Oil doesnt lubricate bearings? and other confusions grant - Friday, 28 January, 2011, at 10:38:06 am |

Now, some questions for the OP (grant): I may have missed it, but could you go over the parts/labor costs again for the LN repair? Did you simply find a local mechanic who would agree to do the fix and then order the necessary parts from Raby? I'm interested to know because I may want to have this repair done myself. Thanks.

Total 911 magazine recently had an article on IMS failures and they feel it is rare and exaggerated on message boards. Unfortunately only those who have problems squeal about it on message boards. What we have is sampling error. No one in the Porsche club in Alabama has had this problem that I am aware of. The local indys say they dint see it.
Extended warranty.....money much better spent
