So not only do I have to consider RB’s but even if I change these, the main bearing can go also?! |

Forums always have lots of bad news. The rod bearing failure is a small percentage but I feel it's worth changing. It's not too hard, the BE bearings are a real upgrade vs stock, etc.
Main bearing failure is a tiny, tiny percentage of the rod bearing failure. It's the difference between not jaywalking all the time vs being worried a meteorite is going to hit you.
