What happens when IMS fails?
The answer to your question depends on the context of the IMS you are referring to. If you are referring to the IMS bearing in a Porsche engine, then generally after an IMS bearing fails, the internals of the engine are contaminated with debris due to the failure, thus requiring the engine to be stripped and rebuilt or replaced.
