Was the original engine free of debris when the original bearing replacement was done?

Does LN ship their bearing packed with any sort of grease to reduce initial rotation wear until it gets enough oil? Would that explain why the two bearings rotate differently?

What ever happened to the LN bearing? Did you ship it back to them? Or did you sell it to someone?
This.... How much of this debris was in the engine before the bearing replacement? When we do a bearing upgrade for a customer we always pull sump plate and filter prior to any disassembly regardless if it is just "while you are in there". If ANYTHING alarming is present we simply inform the customer the money would be better spent opening the engine for a rebuild.

And Mike, he used Casper Labs bearing, although I doubt it was the new bearing's fault for that debris.
