POST PROCEDURE NOTES
NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, RETROFIT AN ENGINE
THAT HAS SUFFERED AN IMS BEARING FAILURE!
ALWAYS use the eleven step IMS Retrofit Pre- Procedure checklist when
qualifying any vehicle for an IMS Retrofit.
ALWAYS perform an oil service when carrying out any IMS Retrofit procedure.
Never reuse old oil, no matter how clean you believe it may be.
When sealing up crankcase sump plates, following the pre- procedure inspection,
use a nominal amount of sealant. Liberal amounts of sealant will mix into the oil
and find their way to the oil pick up tube, blocking oil flow, and killing the engine.
After initial start up of the engine that has been retrofitted, check all flange
surfaces, and oil lines for signs of oil leakage.
With the vehicle back on the ground completely, check the IMS Solution oil feed
line for contact with all its surroundings, especially the rear sway bar.
Extreme caution must be given to vehicles with aftermarket rear sway bars. These
are larger in outside diameter and therefore are more probable to have conflicts
with the IMS Solution oil feed line.
Use common sense, take your time, and pay attention! You can’t rush success,
but you can rush failure!
Follow the registration directives provided with your kit to activate your warranty.
IMS Solution LLC strongly recommends using a magnetic oil drain plug in all IMS
Solution / Retrofit equipped engines. Visit LNengineering.com for more info.
