Wish me luck.

You are going to need it, because with that amount of metal in the engine, replacing the IMS is only going to delay the eventual engine failure, and is throwing good money after bad. One of the biggest issues with doing the IMS is that you must do it before it fill the engine with circulating metal debris; once the metal had scattered all over the engine, it has to come apart to be cleaned out and flushed of the metal. Just one piece of that junk circulating in the engine can tear up a rod or crank bearing and lead to very permanent problems.
Check the LN and Raby websites, they are both very clear on why you should not do the IMS upgrade on an engine already full of metal…………..
