I am in the middle of my condition inspection and I sent in both my P-Mags in to be inspected following Robert's bearing failure. They haven't been inspected yet, but I called Brad today and he explained that the bearing that failed is the same one that has been used for years in the 4 cylinder P-Mags. It is considered very reliable.
As an extra precaution they are now installing a shim/washer that will contain the bearing inside the 6 cylinder P-Mag should it fail. Thus saving the hours of work removing the sump that Robert went through. He also noted that the 4-cylinder version already had an oil seal that would prevent the smaller front bearing from throwing debris should it fail.
