I don't like to waste money, but critical engine parts that require lots of labor to replace are not where I look to save money. My first IMS replacement was the Pelican Parts kit. I was happy with it, but for the next car I chose the LN bearing for PROVEN reliability and peace of mind. The many discussions on the forum may dissuade you from choosing the type of oil feed used on the EPS and question the long term reliability.
