Good stuff for potential buyers...and thanks. Please say more about water pumps. Do they squeal or dribble like the ones on other cars? If so the astute owner detects the fluid spot or hears the noise. Also if you can reach it the final clue of flexing the pulley to detect play. Falling coolant level. Not owning one I realize you may need plastic man's arm for some of this.
Back on the IMS. I have read about the various IMS fixes, but feel unsure what
consensus is. Routine changeout of sealed bearings, single or double; changeout to ceramic hybrid; installation of module with engine oil pressurized feed lines? A well received rebuild author in this forum , flaps10, seemed to think a plain bearing could not work.
