2008 is the last year of the IMS issue.

Failure rate has been documented as a high ~10%. Which may not sound bad to some but relative to the auto industry, is abysmal.

If that goes, you are looking at a new engine, period.

Turbos and GT cars were spared from the IMS debacle.

How's your clutch? While the engine is out, I'd inspect the diff, clutch, water pump, coils, plugs, belts, and rear main seal. Replace as necessary.
