Pop the seal off and have a look. Also, theres another recent thread where the bearing was cut open and all the deep grooves in the bearing race were visible. Check it out.

To ensure that the engine was not quipped with a failing IMSB at the time of retrofit, sending in the OEM bearing is a requirement to complete warranty registration. Its been that way since day one.
You can't judge a used bearing by its cover, unless its cut open and measured, you can't judge it's health- period.
Oh, and by the way, that bearing was running VERY loosely n the housing. I can tell by all the fretting on the OD.
