Before tracking down a replacement engine, are you sure your current motor is really toast? There have been plenty of instances where the mechanic said to replace when all that was needed was an AOS. Think I'd be absolutely, positively sure before dropping a bunch of money on something you might not need.

2nd, if you do need to replace the motor, the Bentley manual has plenty of info on how to remove / replace an engine.

3rd, is there a back story to your current engine? Were there issues when you replaced your IMS, like possible metal shavings floating around? I don't have the best memory anymore, but seem to recall something like this with a member a few yrs back. Would be good info for the community.
