Very interesting.....

So isn't it possiprobable that those possible non IMS engine failure points like an IMS tensioner paddle, an IMS drive chain, tensioner paddle wear surfaces and so on, which can "fail and appear to be the IMS bearing", tend to overstate the [i]easy diagnosis[/i] IMS failure rate to begin with?
