Started to replace the IMS bearing on July 22, finished it two week ago. On the way to get my state inspection the check engine light comes on (of course). Replaced an O2 sensor on Sunday and it passed inspection today. Had the car washed, now I'm back on the road.

I feel now that I can install the ims bearing, start to finish, in two full days of work.

Don't forget the RMS

No mention of RMS replacement, though I assume you did it. Just a note, for anyone doing the job. RMS is about $10 (?) and takes 10 minutes to replace while you're in there.
Great writeup, thanks!

Pelican part IMS bearing kit is holding at 500 mile, I drive my car hard and there is no cam variation or oil leaks.

Thank you Wayne for your kit,

Kashmir
