Hi Harry,
Good post btw !
Harry is there any noise that may come from the engine compartment early on that may be an early warning signal for this type of failure? Is it a quiet ticking noise while in the car? Or would it be more obvious while standing outside/underneath the car while the motor is running/at idle? And what about while going through the gears? Will we hear anything?
Thanks Harry !

the quiet ticking noise you hear are most likely your injectors, they are quite loud. by the time you hear the bearing it is most likely too late although some guys have posted that they heard a squealing sound before the engine went kapow. Sometime you can hear a rattling sound which is not the bearing but rather the cam chains from having too much slack. I guess the most important thing you can do is keep a vigal eye out for oil leaks, check your oil filters for debris and of cousre any unusual sounds or just bite the bullet and install a new bearing.
