Welcome and I love that color!

What to do about the IMS bearing is easy - if you worry, then have it replaced and sleep better. If you're not worried, then forget it.

For me, I never worry about it. 126,000 miles and 70 track days on the original IMSB and the engine runs perfect. When the engine blows, whatever the source of the failure, I certainly got my miles and rpm's worth and have nothing to complain about. When it does, I'll swap in a replacement engine for $6K and do it all over again.

Quit worrying and live the dream!
