Argh! If only I had my testbench running!

I would do a comparison of a free floating IHS, mounted with old clamping pressures. Then re-run the series without an IHS.

Cathar makes a good point; IHS add a variable that is hard if not impossible to measure/replicate. Here's a bit of info that might help clarify it, for some:

When the core was bare, some people reported using mounting pressures way above specifications, with varying results, but has anyone tried to do the same with an IHS capped processor? I see none. (!)
