If you are certain that the IMS failed and you are certain that valves slammed pistons and everything is seriously f'ed up, time to shop for a motor. You can find decent used ones at dismantlers, have Raby install a primo rebuilt one or call your dealer and order a crate motor.

Whatever you do, make sure the next motor has an upgraded IMS and change oil every 5k miles.
