Once there are metal shavings in the filter it's pretty much to late. The very least you'll need is a complete engine breakdown and the worst is you have a hunk of useless metal.

Either have the IMS changed or take the calculated risk and do nothing. Whatever makes you sleep better. Not sure what bearing you have in yours, single or double row. Single row appears to be at higher risk then double row. I'm the type to sleep better knowing the issue is fixed. My 02 had the single row so for me it was worth replacing. Do some more research and decide for yourself. There's tons of info on the issue.

Enjoy the car and yeah it will draw rude comments from those jealous and too ignorant to know what they now sell for but you will get way more positive comments.
