Absolutely not.

The failure rate on the dual row is so low, you are much more likely to lose the engine another way.
Don’t give into the scaredy crowd, like “Fiddlebog”.

^^ What he says.^^

I am on engine #5. I have never replaced an IMSB and all of the previous 4 engines failed for other reasons than the IMSB (timing chain, lifter, crank bearing, and I haven't fully torn down #4 yet but its not IMSB).

If it made it this far, it will make it until something else in the engine breaks.
