Do the FB engine serpentine pulley bearings fail like the EZ engines?

The belt set up of the FB engines looks very similar to the EZ engines which frequently have bearing failures - do the FB engines also have that issue?

    They're not failure-proof, but not anywhere near the failure rate of the EZ stuff.

    Great, thanks beast, I'm helping a friend buy one and my relatives/friends have a few - I hadn't seen any fail yet but boy do they look really similar!

    highest mileage FB engine i've seen is 140k miles, and haven't seen a bearing failure yet.
