there is no risk to take here.
if the cam deviation is not rock steady at idle,the IMSB is on its way out.
so basically it is more lake a death sentence then taking a risk.
the only reason i will not urge you to replace the IMSB, is because i'm not familiar with the Durametric V5, and i'm not sure what we are looking at in your first post.
assuming you did not changed your oil in the last 7K miles, you should find many metal particles in your oil, if the bearing is failing.
if i was in your seat, i wouldn't start the engine before inspecting the oil.
