What you read online in not correct, the use of engine numbers to determine which bearing is in the engine is all but useless. 1997-1999 engines are all dual row; 2000-2001 engines were a mix of single and dual row bearings, and the only way to know for sure is to take the clutch and flywheel off and look at the IMS flange. No other way has proven to be even remotely correct, you have to take it apart and look. 2002-2004 are all single row bearings. 2005 was another transitional year with a mix of single row and the third variation oversized bearings which cannot be replaced without disassembling the engine. 2006-2008 are all the oversized bearings.
