2000 and 2001 cars are a crapshoot as to which style bearing is in the engine. I personally own two 2001 cars since new; the very early build car was a single row, the late car was a dual row, which is exactly backwards from what you would expect. There is no way to know which style is in the engine without taking it apart and looking.
