Sorry bro, it's a grease filled seal bearing. The problem is the seal fails and the grease is flung and washed out by the engine oil. Engine oil does not have the viscosity (lubricating properties) of grease. In time the bearing fails, comes apart in the carrier and then the IMS starts telling the valves to kiss the pistons...game over.:ah:
