As an old motorcycle instructor told the group how much risk are you willing to take ? Did any grit/shrapnel from the IMS get pumped across the cam/connecting rod/crankshaft bearings ? No way to know without a teardown . Any chance the shop pulled the sump plate and did an inspection ?

Did they inspect the oil filter element ? What was found ? Any copper colored ( bearing ) material ? Not trying to scare you just being realistic . When you get a good one the cars are very rewarding . When you get a bad one oh boy what a money pit they can be . Good luck with your search/purchase .
