Lasting for 1 oil change is hardly a triumph? It may be a perfectly viable IMSB replacement option but more field results are required.
The LN bearing lasts as long as a clutch +/- so that is O.K. for most users?
Did you examine the bearing in Pedro's kit ? It is just a generic average grade alternator bearing. Not saying that is bad, it just isn't anything better than LN.But it is definitely cheaper.

I was looking at some of these old posts, and stumbled upon this one. So, it’s now been about 60,000 miles and eight years since the DOF was installed on my 03 2.7L. In that time I’ve had Blackstone UOA done on nearly every oil/filter change (at least 2x per year), and all have come back with excellent results including wear metal numbers well below universal averages. Could it still fail? I suppose. Do I worry about it? Not at all 😀
YMMV. Motor on, friends!
