Thanks so much for that photo.

This brand new bearing started to loose pieces off the cage after about 15 minutes with no oil.

The photo below shows how the piece of cage broke off from what I assume is metal fatigue, not wear. You can see the dark oval area inside the piece that is broken off, where it was wearing. But it did not wear through.
