I appreciate the feedback, but the new single row upgrade is already installed. Maybe at the recommended 40k service interval it will get "upgraded" again...

I had read quite a bit about changing out the IMSB (even if it is in good shape) when you have an intermix issues as the thin viscosity of the intermixed oil can cause the IMSB to fail early. Just surprised that the dual row looked/felt great and didn't have any intermixed oil behind it. I feel like I'm doing the engine a dis-service by taking out a stout looking bearing and replacing it with something half the size.
