Don’t give into the scaredy crowd, like “Fiddlebog”.
^^ What he says.^^

I am on engine #5. I have never replaced an IMSB and all of the previous 4 engines failed for other reasons than the IMSB (timing chain, lifter, crank bearing, and I haven't fully torn down #4 yet but its not IMSB).

If it made it this far, it will make it until something else in the engine breaks.
