Hi Everyone,

I wanted to follow up on this posting.

After pulling the IMS bearing today my mechanic, Michael at 9 Elf Motorsports, said that the IMS bearing in my car was definitely failing and that I am really lucky. He's saving the bearing to show me and hopefully I can post pictures on the forum when I get the car back.

I asked about the chain tensioners and cam pads, and he said that he would not recommend it at this time and that it would be at least 10 hours labor plus parts.

I also had the RMS, AOS, water pump, engine belt, clutch, flywheel, and transmission fluid replaced. The coolant reservoir has already been replaced in the car and looked good.

I'm looking forward to enjoying the car without all the worries!!

Thanks for everyone's help!!
