Sorry to hear about this - losing an engine is always a total bummer.

All I can say is that I also lost an engine to a bearing failure but haven't had any problems with that issue since I went to the EBS baffle + 2 qt deep sump + horizontal baffle/windage tray. It basically creates a fixed cavity to hold oil for the long sweepers.

YMMV.
