That being the case, I would highly recommend using the
Pelican Parts IMS Kit that Wayne linked, rather than going with one of the more expensive LN kits. If properly installed, it should last as long as a clutch.
When you do the IMS Bearing be sure to follow Jake Raby's procedure of locking cams with the engine at TDC, rather then using the set-screws included with the Pelican Parts kit. People have had the IMS shift or set-screws fall into the engine.
