If I were already in there, I would replace it. The very least i would do is check the IMSB for play. I believe you can do this by pinning the crank at TDC, removing the IMS and bank 1 tensioners and the IMS cover center nut. Then check the bolt for play. I'm not sure if this is the EXACT procedure for checking play, so check around, but you can do it fairly easily.
