He will have to fill in the details, but what he did was to get a stethoscope and listened to a running IMS bering and also He said that the lifter made a clicking noise while starting the car for a mirco second and he said that the tentioners are always crap after about 60K.

I sent it to him because he is the king of these things, and just like a doctor, if you know what you are hearing, you can diagnose without opening the motor.

The IMS can be done for @700$ even if you did not have coverage of a warrenty.
All these guys spending 1000sK on upgrades and there is a service that can save 25000K by changing a bering. No brainer.

The motor does not have to be out of the car, just take off the valve covers to do the lifters and tentioners

Anyway, I got lucky i guess. The car is going to the dyno tomorrow, I hope to post results.
