**no expert here** Sorry for the dilemma you are having... Just to back up a step, you said this is all because of an IMS failure... How bad of an IMS failure? Did you just find bearing material in the filter or did it fail and jump time? We have had some strange stuff happen on these motors at the shops I've worked at...
If you are not getting a check engine light then I doubt your problem is electrical as they will usually throw some sort of code if the electrics are out of whack... if it is electrical I doubt it's a loose plug~ Can the snap on tool show actual values for cam deviation etc? If not maybe try to borrow a Durametric if you can and see if it tells you anything.
Does your oil pressure read all the way up to 5 bar when revving? What is it at when revving at 700~? If it is only dropping when the motor is below 500 rpm then it is probably right, cause it's not supposed to run that low~ The o-rings could be suspect but once you get it running right I think it may take care of itself... Good luck.
