In this case, if the single row got it to 235k miles, I doubt that the equivalent replacement will be a problem. At that point, ~$850 just for a bearing wouldn't make sense to me unless it's part of a more extensive rebuild.

Yes, I agree. (If that`s indeed the original single-row bearing at 235k that also corroborates the idea that the failures might be due to some sort of misalignment issues of the engine halves or not perfectly lined up bearing bores in the factory which add some minor stress to the bearing eventually leading to premature failure. But I don`t want to hijack the thread and start another IMS debate, hence the paragraph)
