what i'm trying to understand, is if in a case of the IMS going of center, will i be able to re center it thru the oil sump.
I can only speculate that Wayne was trying to extend his "low cost alternative" to the required tooling as well.

If you look up with the sump cover removed, you will not be able to see very much as the sump air oil separators (arrows) and oil pick up are in the way, plus there is no real access to the IMS shaft because the sump is crosswise to the axis of the IMS and crank:
