And as far as anecdotal evidence goes, what about all the people who post that after replacing the IMS as prevetative maintenance, they find that the old bearing was fine?. Even if there was some play in the bearing, thats to be expected. Parts wear. If you strip down a perfectly running high mileage motor, all kinds of parts are going to be worn compared to new specs. Doesn'r mean theres anything wrong with the motor.
