Best of luck
The engine was not pre- qualified for the IMSR process. I personally documented this during my diagnosis. The IMS bearing hasn't failed, this engine has main and rod bearing failure symptoms.

Had the preventative procedure included a pre- qualification like it should have, there's a good chance this failure would have been caught in process.

The sump had never been removed, the bearing was slammed in and the process was treated Like a brake job...
