What was the history of the engine and the condition of the rest of the engine on the LN IMS bearing Pedro showed? Might they have influenced the condition of the bearing? Why have so many survived so much longer? Beware the sample qty 1 conclusion.
And I'd bet Charles and Jake have said that installing any bearing in a contaminated engine or having some other failure in the engine would compromise any bearing over time, even a better bearing.
I think we have to be really careful to separate in our discussions the single and double row removable bearings.
