and what do you recommend i should do? because if it does fail there is no way i can afford to rebuilt my engine. and i want to avoid it to get to that.

By the time you see metal in the oil or filter, it is already too late. Once you see metal, the engine already needs to come apart.
As far as when, as soon as time and funds permit; you have the single row style bearing, which is the least durable design, and the most prone to fail.
