2005 was a transitional year, some of the engine's carry the older single row IMS, others are the oversized non serviceable unit. Unfortunately, there is no way to know which one is which without taking the car apart and looking; every other published method (build dates, VIN numbers, etc.)has been proven wrong multiple times.
