How will splash help a bearing that is sealed ?The cumulative wisdom of the IMSB world is the outer seal was the cause of much of he problem. Ditto the mainshaft and pinion bearing in the G86 that you allude to.
I ask because of the Hippocratic oath we should take when giving advice. "First,do no harm". If you have enough evidence to refute the cummulative wisdom of the experts, we're all ears & eyeballs.
