I sacrifice good parts all the time and this won't be the first time I have blown up a 6,000+ dollar engine on purpose, for the sake of science and development.

Jake,

Are you planning on using an engine that a customer had in their car that you recently replaced with one of your engines, or are you building an engine from a randomly sourced core with parts you have on hand, or are you building and engine using perfect parts, and the failed IMS bearing will be the only faulty part in the entire engine?
