Hi,
Yes it was the original IMS bearing that failed.
Car has got about 118.000 km on clock.
Probably bearing has been gone already for a while, but it was only now when the main chain tensioner got cut causing the visual damage.
I bought the car only 2 months before. Last service was done at 110.353 km in Porsceh Shor in Germany, so I desided to change the oil only when I will but the car for winter storage. Well, I did not reach that point, since the engine failed by beginnming of August last year.
This is just to explain why I did not notice the "failing IMS bearing " symptoms in advance!
