And the quality of the engine the kit was installed in.

Jake has posted on another forum of a tool he has developed to measure the relationship of the crankshaft hole and the IMS hole in the block. He is thinking, possibly after seeing multiple failures in a given engine and searching for the reason, that slight manufacturing variations make a difference. In his shop, he will now not install any IMS kit into an engine which fails his new test.

If this is true, then once you get in and see the condition of your current IMS, you can predict how your replacement will fare.
