I think a little wobble is noticable in most drive belt pulleys and does not indicate bearing failure. Latter could affect oil pressure, engine temp and most probably knocking or other bad sounding noises.

I don't think you are trying very hard... you had the chance to cook your motor on tuesday but NO you had to notice the water leaking out and the temp gauge peg in the red and turn it off... ther was your chance at a 3L conversion... Just my $.02

usually bad bearing is notified by lower engine sounding like a tic or a slight knock- or in my case a LARGE thwack!
