Aside from the aforementioned goodies, any advise? Helpful tutorials, books etc?
Don't know your complete story -- but if you had an IMS fail and you rebuilt the motor but did not completely flush the oil system of any debris (and this is not easy to do),
then your new IMS bearing could have been shredded by FOB from the previous engine loss.

I happen to have a 2.7L (not sure what you are running) with IMSB, nikisil block, and a few other goodies --
