I am at 120,000 miles now with no problems. Of course, your mileage may vary.
May I ask a few questions?

how often have you changed the oil and filter? And how often (daily, weekly, monthly) do you drive the car and do you generally keep it at least 3K RPM?
Also, which oil have you been using?

I suspect how the car is handled has a lot to do with how the IMSB holds up.
