I am making no claims (for or against). I am just saying be careful.

It is not hyperbole, it is real. While not as widespread as other issues; it is nearly always fatal to the engine. To describe it as a myth is delusional. I’d suggest you visit some shops that have pulled engines with failed IMS bearings and look at the result before casting aspersions on the validity of the issue…….
