IMS replacement. Well I messed it up again.

I've seen worse like the guy who rebuilt his 993 engine and forgot to install the rod bearings and ran the engine. True story.

Good call putting back right.
I have been there, not with as complicated of a job but that feeling.
Patting your self on the back, big grin on a job well done.
Looking around and then that incredible sinking feeling when you spot that one piece, the first one to be installed, sitting in the corner.
Then there is that calm before the storm

I almost did it all over again. After I installed the o-ring and reassembled everything I spotted the clip that holds the bearing in laying on my hood. I Completely panicked. Then I realized the kit came with a new one and luckily had photos of the install the verify. So glad to have this all behind me. The old bearing by the way looked great, it's been in since 2012, has been around 40,000 miles and seen dozens of track days

that was a painful read.

Agree, it always sucks when you have to redo something. I usually just call it a day and address it the next day. bonus is that it typically goes much quicker the second time.
