We've had a great streak of saving engines that have had IMS issues, but it ended yesterday with a car that was shipped into us from South Florida. We had hoped to save this one, but it had no hope due to collateral damage and a debris filled oil system.

Just north of 70K miles and driven by a Female, always well maintained.. But look at that throttle plate, this is why we state that driving cars too easy isn't beneficial to the surface speed of the bearing and reduces it's life.

She is looking at the purchase of one of our CPO engines, we should have her back on the road in two weeks or so..
