The debris is harmful to much more than just the replacement IMSB, it will impact every internally lubricated component within the engine if operated long enough.
Remember, the stock oil filter bypass is horrible and at start up it bypasses oil around the filter and straight to the bearings (especially in cold temperatures), when it becomes clogged with debris even more oil is bypassing the filter. When carrying out an IMSR its wise to replace the filter housing, or add the LN Spin On Filter Adaptor, to fully filter all the oil without the chances of bypassed oil.
We find over half the filter housings that we see have weakened bypass springs, which allows more bypassed oil to be routed around the filter.
Its the little things that no one thinks about, because they haven't taken the time to develop the solutions themselves.
