The main lesson here applies to every car: Rapidly rising temp gauge, pull the car over and shut down the motor. Gauge pinned at 250F, motor is now dead and life just got more expensive.

IMS was not listed as a part, I do not know I that is being replaced, I would assume not but you are correct I would have that replaced before install so add that to the 7k

Surely they would include IMS in that price though, right? As often as those fail, no shop would quote a engine install without it, right?
