You missed the fact that bearing failure is most unusual on a modern

when this last happened to you or yours?

Simpler is always more reliable all else beingequal.

I had to fit new big end shells and main bearing shells to a Rover V8
engine about ten years ago.

Only the worst of ignorant ****s would fit new bearing shells to anything.
If the shells need replacing, the bearing surface is also worn/damaged.

But next time, don't let it run out of oil. And your electric pump won't
help there either.
