IMS failure???

I just saw your tear down pics. Damn. You might be able to save the crank shaft and bearing carrier. Have it all ultrasonically cleaned and the crank checked for straightness and magnafluxed.
That IMS is garbage.

You're right, the toughest part is deciding what you can reuse.

Were any rod bearings spun or have you torn it down that far yet? Don't forget to order the tiny oil nozzles that go in the bearing carrier.

All of the bearings were in good condition. Same as the piston rings.
But still I desided to change them all. Just because the engine is open.
