Couple of points:

1. The dash temp display in these cars is both woefully inaccurate and non-linear; it is more of a "hot or cold" idiot light replacement than an indication of the car's actual condition.
2. The link you listed notes the some of the cars that ran warmer had other issues as well, so their temp problem is probably unrelated to the LN swap.
3. I can think of no technically valid reason why changing the bearing would alter how hot the car runs.
