That would provide clean filtered oil into the hybrid bearing and it would be or could be cheaper than the Solution Kit right?
Possibly a legal matter.....Tuner RS Motorsports, or a patent issue maybe.
Just seems like the best remedy to me.

LN/Jake Raby own the patent on the IMS Solution, which includes the oiling system, which is why no one else can use it. And to answer another question, Raby limits IMS Solution installation to shops that have sent people to his engine school and the Solution installation training program. LN's website carries a list of the current approved shops.
The dual row "Pro" ceramic hybrid kit exists, but does not need or use the oiling system, which was designed only for the Solution. LN and Raby both have been adamant in stating that adding an oiling system, even theirs, does not do anything for the ceramic hybrid over its normal splash lubrication, and that oiling systems that use oil coming off the heads could actually reduce the ceramic's life expectancy.
So what looks like a good idea at first blush, may not play out that way in the long term.
