The last oil filter inspection didn't show any signs of IMS failure (~1.5k miles ago) but I know that's no guarantee. I keep the revs high and drive spiritedly ;-) The car purrs like a kitten and she drives beautifully.
With all that I'm still keen on getting the (LN) IMS upgrade carried out. Shipping my car to Flat 6 in not an option (it's gonna cost over 1k to do that) however I have a local specialist who is more that capable of doing the work.
As well as the IMS upgrade, what other (enigine) work should be carried out at the same time . Here's my current list
IMS
RMS
Full clutch kit
given the age/mileage ...
AOS
Water Pump
Timing Chain + Tensioners
anything else?

Where are you located?? Shipping is very cost effective now that we have trucks picking up and delivering multiple cars from different areas and delivering them to the Flat 6 facility all at once...
Also if you are out of state and have this work done, and the car shipped home sales tax also isn't applied, which can be a notable amount.
If you do the list of things that Mike lists it would be hard for anyone else to do that work cheaper than us, because we do this everyday and we "go deep" with no fear and no reservation..
Might want to explore that shiopping again.
