I defey any car manaufacturer to beat the reliabilty of a core engine component with a failure rate of less than 1%. Better still i defey any car manufacturer to maintain that less than 1% failure rate on cars 10yrs+
Plenty of other cars have much higher failure rates of core components within that time scale. It may have been a curious design but to be fair, it wasn't THAT bad after all.
So if i was running dual row, i'd be sleeping easy.
That said, the above relates to dual row bearings, the move to a single row bearing on later cars seems to have been a Friday afternoon decision following a few pints in the local pub which somehow seemed like a good idea at the time.
1% to 10% is a big jump and for me 10% was just that bridge to far.
Each to their own though.
