If you don't understand why read the SKF brochure i've linked in the other thread. Especially the part with the sealings, contamination, lifetime and so on. OK over all it's 300 pages, but than you'll understand bearings a little more.

The IMS tubes are different in detail, because the used bearings are different. Some have circlip grooves, some not. Also some are for 3 chain and some are for 5 chain engines.

Markus, all of the tubes have clip groves cut in them, just in different places and of different sizes depending upon which style bearing is used.
