Are we talking main/rod bearings or the pilot bearing

For the price of a bearing there is no reason to send them out.

Even if you drain the oil and it is a rod/main you still may not see anything in it and he's right they will not just magically get better and stop making noise. As far as a pilot bearing it is a different type obviously and depending on temperature and torque on the bearing you can experience noises that come and go if its failing

For 5$ and a few hours I'd definitely try the pilot first
