As for which AT engines carry the oversized IMS bearing, the AT serial number can be decoded to determine its date of remanufacture; so AT's prior to PCNA switching to the oversized bearings would contain exactly what bearing the original engine carried; those producted after the change over date would carry the larger bearing. And just to address your point of contention, the engine cases carrying carrying the oversized bearing are EXACTLY the same as the original, only the IMS shaft was changed to allow the use of the large IMS bearing.

You want to keep splitting hairs. I never disputed that they use updates and I don't want to argue with you.
I just wanted to clarify that if a car has AT engine, it's not necessarily the same as the engine that originally came in the car. It may FUNCTION the same, it may work with the cars' electronics the same way, but it's not necessarily the same as the original. That's useful information to for people know, especially if they plan on doing the IMSB, that's all.
