Yikes. Sounds like you caught it just in time. Our car has about 150-200 miles on it since the retrofit, and it was running fine (we pulled the engine in order to do some tech articles on it, but it will be going back in, in a week or two).
Our kit is not available at this time just yet, but I do recommend the LN Engineering kit that we sell in the meantime. Why don't you give Glenn in sales a call at 1-888-280-7799x230 and he can walk you through that.
If you follow the procedures in the IMS replacement article, then you should be able to save your engine!

I am now under th assumption that the the IMS has gone bad and in the process of removing the transmission . Morever, How bad was your IMS bearing and was the car saved? I am concerned of the amount of metal circulating around the motor. I also found a very small ball bearing and spring in the oil pan any ideas? lastly, is your ims replacment kit avaiable?
