Bearing debres, the plague that keep's killing.
I am glad you decided to give a through cleaning to the assembly. You will likely be trouble free for sure now.
Sorry to harp on you on tearing down the entire engine previously, but guessing what is good without re-checking in an engine that has bearing damage of any sort is a losing game for the owner every time from my experience.
Good luck to you in Vegas!
