Sorry to hear that it happened, but I am glad your back on the road. After I discovered the IMS bearing issue, it made my experience when driving the car stressful, I always had that little thought in the back of my mind, "is it gonna go now... is it gonna go now?" Then I thought about it and decided that any vehicle that I was driving could have an issue that would leave me on the side of the road in need of a tow. So now I don't even think about and I just drive the car and enjoy it. HOWEVER, if I do lose the engine due to an exploded IMS bearing, I am 100% sure that I am going to do this conversion.
