Sorry to read of your engine's demise, Homeboy. Hope you can find a suitable solution, rather than ending up with an expensive roller.

The IMS issue is a hot topic indeed; this should cement the notion that the only foolproof way to address it is to install the upgraded bearing.

Costly, yes, but one sleeps better at night knowing that the issue has been resolved. People can write all they want about failure rates, oil types, low temp thermostats, guardians etc., but the fact of the matter is..................it can happen to anyone of us at ANY TIME.

What kills me is that people will argue endlessly against replacement because of cost, but have no qualms about their "mods": plunking down thousands for Carrera wheels, RUF bumpers, and GT3 seats.

Not that there's anything wrong with that................

As always, that's me, and I'm just sayin'..............
