Just watched the videos. I am amazed at how good the motor sounded. You would think this kind of problem would creep up slowly, but I sure don't hear any sign of it when Mark was driving. I wonder if that says anything about how it is happening, or if is just the nature of the failure.

on my video just before the last stint where the bearing failed, it sounded pretty good too. I think it just wears out, an then its gone. I bet it was a problem in the making due to the lack of oil from the prevoius day.
