JFP....
But surely, if the IMS starts to fail and the "engine will have to come apart", the $$ cost will be nearly equal to the engine being a boat anchor to the average Joe anyway !!!

Its all very well the Guardian detecting ferrous debris, but in reality its probably too late when it does. I'm a real believer in being pre-emptive when it come to "possible" failures - the Navarro / Raby original ceramic bearing installed before failure being the better option in my (humble) opinion.
