Your front cam bearing is right up front there and is not too hard to check.
I don't think that a dry main bearing will give you a long term notice of
failure.

Interrogatory by Scott Barr, esq. (asked and answered)
"rumbly-growly bearing noise, shrieky bearing noise or squirrel-on-crack
bearing noise?
Constant, consistent noise, or intermittent?
Are you sure it's coming from up there? Have you tried the long pry-bar to
ear stethoscope method?"
____________________________________________________________
Scott,
It is a bearing type noise that is medium to high pitched.
Usual not heard at idle.
Constant when rpm is raised beyond idle.
Thanks...Joe (A)
