Hi sepesusi63,

first thanks for the update. Think you're right with your diagnosis - first ims failure and than failed all other things.

Hope you can get everything cleaned up. Sometimes it's hard to get all debree out of the engine. I recommend to clean everything really really careful.

Hydraulic lifters: to be honest - i would recommend to replace them all.

You didn't mention the chain tensioners in your listing. I would also recommend to replace them all.

Also i would recommend to replace piston rings and crankshaft bearing shells and inspect the cylinder liners carefully.

Because the engine and gear box is out of the Box check the 2 mass fly wheel.

Regards from Germany
Markus
