Simply because you are there, and trying to justify cost vs value is pretty pointless as rebuilding the engine takes that discussion right off the table.
The cheaper bearing (pelican I assume) is to be replaced in every 40k miles, costs $180 and is worse than the original (being half in size). Why not just buy a new double row bearing same or similar to the original that looks perfect after 100k?
