I pulled the sump and the uptake screen had all kinds of blue plastic pieces stuck in it.....

How difficult is this job for a moderately experienced (bolt on stuff kinda guy) mechanic to attempt?

2002 base
160k
LN IMS at 130K (previous owner)
I have done: water pump, low temp thermostat
AOS

Also curious - assume they can do this while doing an IMS install?

It is possible, but the IMS and chain pads are not really in the same part of the engine, so there would be considerable labor involved. If it were up to me, I would drop the engine and do everything on a stand before popping the engine back in. Much quicker and easier on the stand.
