To me, this whole issue comes do to: what do you plan to do when the IMS fails
- Buy a new car and sell the old as a roller
- Find a used engine and swap the used one for the failed one
- Rebuild the failed engine and hope for the best
- Replace the IMS, change the oil and hope for the best
All four choices involve time and money. Depending on which option you choose should help you decide two things:
- Whether to replace the IMS before it fails
- Which of the IMS options to choose
In my case, I installed an IMS Solution when it came time to replace the clutch. I'll never get the cost the Solution back if I sell the car, but the potential search and labor costs of experiencing a premature IMS failure far outweighed the cost of the part.
