More than once, we have been asked to do a PPI on a vehicle that had a very recent IMS transplant, only to find metal in the sump and filter, which is why the owner tried to do a quick retrofit and then dump the car. Considering what a retrofit costs, I am always suspicious of someone that does one and then immediately puts the car up for sale.
