How much more labor to reach IMS after transmission is pulled?

Its two hours to replace the ims, the LN Engineering Retrofit Kit has a stronger bearing. If you car rattles on start up install new chain tensioners.

Two hours from the time your tranny is dropped?

And thanks for the info regarding motor meisters, fellas. I'm going to look for a local welder to see if they can fix this.

According to Wayne R. Dempsey in his 101 project book. And I agree with him if you run into no problems.

Follow the LN Engineering directions and not Wayne. The engine need to be TDC so there is less chance of slipping timing chain. Wayne has you lock the timing with set screws and you can move the press fit gear on the ims shaft (bad).

if in case you your cracks are not bad enough to ooze heavygear oil as you think, you may have stripped the threads in which case, get a expanding rubber wine stopper with a lever. Worked for years for me with a 928.

It's not a bad idea yet I'd be leery it might drop out on the highway and destroy the engine before one could react. Perhaps I'm missing something here but if it's stripped I would find a slightly larger bolt and simply use a tap to cut new threads.
