If the mileage & service history was available, the resulting wear would be more meaningfull. And as you know, some high mileage engines won't have as much bearing wear as others even though they have had a similar maintenance regime.
I found it interesting that there are 8 balls in the bearing, and 8 equally spaced wear patches on the inner ring with 7 on the outer. I don't know what that means, if anything. I was hoping someone else might chime in.
