If your engine does implode, it's much more likely that the poorly engineered IMS bearing or RMS are to blame.
There is now a fix for those implosions... I can't believe no one has mentioned it here yet :-)
Development continues...

BTW- The IMS is not lubricated by the engine's oil. The IMS bearing is sealed, which is a major cause of it's issues and failures..

Our retrofit and update Ceramic Hybrid IMS bearings are not sealed.
