Another thought about the IMS bearing: wouldn't I see debris or at least metal flakes in my oil if this was the case? The oil sump was pulled and found clean, the oil was analyzed by Blackstone and found clean, the filter was inspected and found clean, and there was no ferrous debris on the magnetic drain plug.
Question: if a bolt on the IMS bearing was indeed backing out and slapping the flywheel, this would be possible to check by separating the gearbox from the engine, correct? In other words, far less intrusive than splitting the case?
