THIS question is the one which drove my decision NOT to replace the IMS this time.
Last motor, i took out a perfectly good bearing with 147k miles on it, and replaced it. 5000 miles later I lost the motor to something entirely unrelated.
How many "what-ifs" can I defend against? Where do I draw the line? I buy a 15-20yr-old car, with lots of miles, with unknown service history (sure, you may think documentation tells the story, but it's still a "box of chocolates").. there are literally DOZENS of things that are at least as likely (from a sheer statistical point of view) to take-out this car as the IMS is.
pi$$ on it. I left this one alone.
