From the small dample i have touched...
Heavily used cars may have bearing wear, but few fail outright.

I pulled one from the junk motor of my project car with 150k. diagnosed as failed IMS. It spun just fine.

But you cant get 150k with light use.

Back to the point, though, what else did the original mechanic get wrong? maybe nothing, but that raises yet another question for me.
