So his logic isn't 100% correct, when he states that engines started failed right after they went from double to single bearing....

in 2000, porsche started using the single row. not every engine had a single row until 2002 MY, so it's possible that 2 cars of the same MY (2000, 2001) have different bearings.
he also said that there were more failures from single row than double row, which i think has been shown to be true from others who have worked on this. doesn't mean the double row doesn't fail, just that the single row fails more often.
remember, statistics don't matter to the individual.
