The original plan was that if we did not find any obvious signs of an IMS failure, when we dropped the sump cover, that we were going to install a magnetic drain plug, new oil filter, and oil, then drive it for 500-1000 miles and see what we find next time. But between the plastic bits that were found and the fact that the car has recently started making a noticeable rattle for 2-3 seconds upon startup, the new plan is to take a look at the chain tensioner paddles and/or ramps to see if they need to be replaced or not. The car is ready for a new clutch anyway, so I am going to have them install the IMS retrofit kit, just for piece of mind.
