Kirk:

If unsealed dual row LN bearings don't fail, then the discussion of oil volume doesn't matter. Splash lubrication is adequate by definition in a zero failure world. And that's the hurdle DOF must overcome given its marketing positioning.

I just ordered the dof and a new steel dual row bearing. Maybe it won't solve the issue but it sure as heck won't hurt it. It will provide more lubrication and it will cool it. That's enough fact for me to use it.

Is it really "new" if it was applied in 2007?
