I happen to have a 2.7L (not sure what you are running) with IMSB, nikisil block, and a few other goodies --

I'll start from the end.
I do need a 2.7
The bearing was replaced on a good motor for "preventative" maintenance (yeah how'd that work out?!). In fact the wrench said it was the original bearing and in great shape but knowing I was tracking we replaced along with a few other preventative items.
Let me know on your motor....
