D Chunk on a 2.5? I don't think so. D Chunk is a 3.4/6 996 lump problem due to think cylinder walls and open deck design. 2.5 actually has thicker cylinder walls than the 3.4/6 engines.
Some early 2.5s had slipped sleeve problems, but I think those were from 98 to 99. A '97 2.5 should be OK in that regard. But as the OP mentioned, it doesn't have enough miles to feel god about the IMS bearing.
I'd be thinking about getting an upgraded bearing onto it, pronto.
