You need to just settle down and quit worrying so much. This issue has been beaten to death. By all accounts the failure rate for single row IMS is 5% to 10%. Yes you are rolling the dice. You can do one of four things:

1. Just monitor the oil and change oil frequently (I do mine every 3K miles)
2. Same as above, but change out bearing when you finally install a new clutch.
3. Install the IMS Guardian.
3. Go into immediate panic mode and replace the bearing NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
