I just did mine.
2001 S with 122,000 miles on it. I was told the motor was replace sometime in its past but I can't confirm that.
Anyway, I had a single row that was in perfect condition when I replaced it. I ended up replacing just about everything I touched (RMS. IMS, Tensioners, Spark Plugs, motor oil, trans fluid (royal purple 75-90), clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and fixed the rear spoiler).
Where do you stop?
It had a "small" RMS leak as the original owner called it...the underside of the car was preserved in a coating of oil and dirt about a 1/2" thick. It was obviously leaking a while.
I used the Pelican Parts bearing kit. Believe it or not the hardest part was installing the RMS. I destroyed 3 seals before getting the depth right and square.
I figure I'll replace the IMS every 40,000 miles.
I'll post a picture of the bearing when I get a chance.
