I have pulled apart a LOT (20+) blown 2.5's, a couple had questionable bearings, but none of them had failed completely.

I bought a 99 a few years back with a blown engine.
When i put the car on a lift -- the IMS bolt was sheared off and facing head down
sitting between the engine and tranny.
this was a 99 tip with 92K miles on it.
