I don't think you should even consider my service unless your engine has 100,000+ miles n is in otherwise good condition. What value do YOU put on loss of use of your Porsche?
Re: Jake's reference was to engines with recurring low mileage failures. Not my target market. Bearing choice is the engine owners choice. Ceramics are touted as 300% longer lasting than steel balls. But if the bearings n these engines need a 2nd replacement n the owners lifetime. It'll be doable by any competent shop n short time.

You don't have to disassemble the engine to help it live, just remove the rear seal on the OEM IMS bearing and let it be oiled by the mist inside the cases. We have a couple dozen or so customers running this way, several that are track rats, none of the bearings have failed, and I have not heard of anyone running with out the rear seal that has suffered any problems.
