Bearing Failure Rate...

is due to improper install. First time, no high temp grease. Same knuckleheads did second install...not sure what they did wrong but I am sure they didn't follow the correct install procedure.
As for the Timken bearings, I was v. disappointed in the bad feedback. Back in the day Timkens were the best money could buy. I used them in my Yamaha two stroke race bike engine in '71. They were v. big with hot rodders. Timken was the brand. However, Timken no longer has a good rep amongst the professional mechanics of my aquaintence. Particularly in this application.
