Please Note: Before we retrofit any car, we need to make sure the engine will hold up, we do this by opening it up and performing an IMS Bearing Qualification Procedure. First thing we do is scan all the modules for faults, and check for Camshaft Deviation and mechanical over-revs. If that passes, the next step is to remove the oil filter and cut it open, looking for any debris. Next step after that is to drain the engine oil (part of the cost of these inspections is the oil) and pull the sump plate, also inspecting for debris. If we find anything alarming during this process we will stop and call you.
