Been reading a lot about IMS issues for several months. Decided to move ahead and have it done. Also had a new clutch, RMS, water pump, and 160 stat. Picked up the car yesterday and glad I spent the $4k. The IMS may have lasted another 10k but the shop doubted it would. Even an non mechanic like me saw the issue with the bearing.

For those of you who are debating whether to move forward, just do it.

Most parts were from LN Engineering.
