That engine is alive almost a decade after retrofit, and still has the original retrofit bearing.
The vast majority of ceramic bearings are hybrid, with silicon nitride balls, and specially treated steel races, just like this. This includes those used in aviation/ aerospace and every other application out there.
Those who want to omit all the wear parts step up the the IMS Solution.

The ims solution would be the best option for sure,but I'm thinking it will be about another year till ill be able to get hold of it where I live!
The question I asked before was,why do you "life" your bearings at such low milage/years since theyre so much better than the original bearings and many many cars are known to have gone beyond 100k miles on their original bearings? Will I still need to change my double row retrofit bearing in five or six years time,even if it has lets say 20k miles on it?
