I think vkmotorsports has a point. I've read somewhere that certain engine blocks were more prone to failure than others. Possibly having something to do with machining. Thus presenting itself as a problem earlier in the engine's life. So, if you have a higher mile engine, it's LESS prone to IMS failure. But you're also right, they can fail at any mileage.
