Phew!
The old ISMB was still intact, even has the seals on but it looks like the grease has been washed out. The IMS was full of old oil. The old bearing turns smoothly by hand and there was no nasty stuff in the engine oil although it was a bit dirty even though it had just been changed. I guess the last change has acted as a flushing oil to help get rid of the remains of the 4 year old stuff that was in there before.
The clutch was down to 1mm of lining so that's been changed, and they've done the RMS as well. For anyone who is in Melbourne I can really recommend Autoart in Preston, they've done the whole job quickly and at a great price, so I can still afford some fuel for the car :-)
I guess it's up to you to decide who was most correct on the poll, but I'm very glad the one person who voted for near engine detonation was completely wrong
Finally some pictures of the old IMSB.
Cheers!
