2nd, if you do need to replace the motor, the Bentley manual has plenty of info on how to remove / replace an engine.
3rd, is there a back story to your current engine? Were there issues when you replaced your IMS, like possible metal shavings floating around? I don't have the best memory anymore, but seem to recall something like this with a member a few yrs back. Would be good info for the community.

Regarding the IMS replacement, I had it done at 163K miles while the clutch was being replaced. Did not have a thorough history of the car so I took the safe route.
