If you're really concerned about it, pull the pan and put in fresh bearings at 50K miles.
95% of the work is getting the oil pan off.

I change the $3 PCV valve every other oil change and just buy a handful everytime I get oil filters. Since installing Fumoto valves on both VX's the oil change routine is tool-less and quick.
As for DeLoreans: We got one once from a GSA auction and it was quite nice, especially for $5K with no issues other than no keys and a stolen radio. Except it knocked me nearly unconcious twice while detailing it with the doors open. Gullwings are hazardous when you're tall!

Another thing to think about - Isuzu sales of engines and drivetrains far exceeds their car and truck sales. The 3.2/3.5 engine was supplied to Honda/Acura and several other manufacturers - it's funny that you don't hear about failure on those engines and the focus is always on Isuzu vehicles.

how about useing the toga main and rod bearings instead of stock replacement. My car is getting rebuild and it totally sucks only having one car in the household. so I want to do the most "preventative maintenance" I can do so this doesnt happen again and they do make a high volume oil pump.

Not just the engines...the whole damn truck!
The Honda Passport is a rebadged Rodeo.
The Acrua SLX is rebadged Trooper.
