What I need to know is whether the instructions for re timing the engine are included with the IMS kit, I would assume it needs doing post replacement. I'm thinking of paying someone to pull my engine and then trying to do the bearing myself.

It's good that you shut the car down immediately, but are you sure it's the IMSB? Have you pulled the oil sump plate and the oil filter and found metal shards?
It could be something as simple as the water pump, or possibly a bad lifter.
