Notes from the IMS check:
"Inspect engine for build numbers. M96. Advise if IMS bearing is replaceable. Connect scan tool and check cam deviation: (plus)1.703 (minus) 1.203. Engine is candidate for IMS bearing replacement.

These are good numbers and if it were mine I'd drive and regularly inspect the oil filter for contamination. If there is no unusual tapping in the top or bottom of the engine I'd say the AOS did no damage. You can have one fail that doesn't hurt anything. Mine blew at high RPM on track dumped all sorts of smoke for several hundred yard and stopped stalled. Pulled off track it fired and drove back to the pits and did no damage at all.
