^ very true! A properly maintain will very rarely have random failures. It mainly boils down to how well the person who built and spec'ed the motor for proper bearing thickness, then verfied the tolerances when the motor was assembled. it's always good to double check bearing clearance because when using aftermarket companies they can vary in thickness among the same batch or if a coating has been applied to a bearing that will also increase thickness that may not be accounted for that can ultimatley ruin a motor in no time.
I myself will always trust in oem bearings. not saying that aftermarkets are no good but oem seem to withstand anything you throw at them as long as they are properly measured.
