Well the benefit that I see is that I will not be spending countless hours of work replacing it every 40-50,000 miles is that a good enough reason for you?
If the LN Bearing or whoever the manufacturer may be is going to need to be reinstalled that is not a good enough fix for me. I understand that there may be 18,000 of them installed but how many of cars from 1999-2005 lets say, have never had anything done to them. My car has 101,489 miles on it and I am just now going to do the bearing just for piece of mind and yes it never had any oil squirting on it either. So, some will last and others will not for whatever the reason. I do not see that having oil squirting onto/into my new bearing will be a disadvantage to the bearing that is just plain, simple facts of lubricating a moving metal object right?

So, I do not care if your name is Jake, Charles, Wayne, Pedro or Mike. I want the best fix for the problem in order not to have to tear everything apart every 3-4 years.

I simply wanted to know if anyone had used the EPS that is all, prior to me making my decision on which one to purchase.

I have read responses from attorneys, engineers, salesmen, business owners pissing on each others theories, factory workers, bearing specialists, someone requesting data from 10,000 installs compared to their data and on and on and on................with the same outcome. Just read more and get what you feel most comfortable with.

A total tear down to install the "Solution" is not the answer for me.

Do you really think that oil that lubricates the entire head assembly is too dirty and hot to sufficiently lubricate the IMS bearing? Do you think the oil that "splash" lubricates the bearing is any different? Do you really believe that you can inject too much oil into bearing?

You are correct when you stated that a lot of cars out there are doing just fine with the ceramic hybrids and even OEM bearings with splash lubrication......but it is a temporary fix and I am wanting a more permanent fix.
