who is still on their original IMS?

1997 2.5, 114k, 39k on motor that's in the car now (put in the car by a dealer in 2004), Royal Purple 0W50 changed 2x a year, Swapped clutch at 90k with swapped tranny which had 40k on it (1st gear synchro was going out).

So, almost 40k on the present motor without any shavings in the oil filter at oil changes or stuck to the magnetic drain plug.

I take it to redline frequently at the track 2x a year and whenever I drive it on the street as well. I've heard this helps lubricate the IMS bearing and know it probably reduces the life of the motor, but I'm not worried.

2001 base 2.7 manual 85000. Castrol syntec 10w40 per JFP's recommendation once a year. Have owned 18 months. New water pump, low temp thermostat, and AOS but original IMS as far as I know. If single row is found when clutch is needed, will update. Not likely will I mess with a dual row.
