He had never heard of the IMS issue, so he never wasted an ounce of energy worrying about it in the 15 years that he owned it. Ignorance is bliss! By car is beautiful and I plan on keeping it for many years as my weekend, summer toy. The work was pricey. Was it necessary? I will never know, but I do know that I enjoy the car much more now that it is done.
Original waterpump? things that take down engines: original IMSB, AOS, coolant cap and wp. Being proactive is good in most cases.
