Bearing can be of the highest quality but if you have insufficient bearing support for the crank weight and rpm, the bearing will overheat and fail. You need a minimum surface area for any given bearing speed to support the firing and inertial loads from the engine.
That being said, a 455 running to only 5500-5800 rpm will have a high success of living a LONG TIME.
