I am not saying all engines are going to fail. But there is no way to know at an early stage unless you have an exploratory engine diagnosis (i.e. open the engine and have a physical inspection). You will be extremely lucky to catch it early but most often it's too late. How many of the blown engines showed obvious sign of bearing deterioration at early stages?
