TRK I appreciate that. The shop said the IMSB was going and the engine is toast. I am skeptical, however I need to change the clutch so I am going to check it out while I am in there. I would prefer NOT to drop the engine. My understanding is that the variocam tensioner might be going and it can be done with the engine in the car it is easier to perform with the engine out.

I will take your advice and drive it while the weather is so nice here
