+1 on sharing the pictoral.

Wouldn't it be something if a relatively inexpensive soln is found to this problem? It would give all owners some piece of mind and reduce forum threads by approx 50%.

But I've got some questions about IMS. It seems the failures happen to the 986s and not 987s (lower case s designating plural not just the S model). Is that true? I don't seem to recall a 987 owner reporting IMS failure. Are the 987s a different design or they just haven't accumulated enough mileage for them to start breaking?
