James, if I'm not mistaken, there is a fixt that sells a oil feed using something similar to what you describe.
Jake, tell us why wouldn't this work?

Much like the factory cam timing procedure, this configuration of the oil system is missing some critical points.

Having an oil flow from the pump would be nice. If I were to use engine oil for lubrication, I figure 10cc/min would be enough to keep the bearing in oil, under certain conditions.
I am looking at vacuum powered pumps now.

Walter,
What are you doing to that poor engine? It looks a little... experimental.

That was a minute ago, now I am back on grease. After playing with bearings over-packed with grease, I found out that they will just poop out the excess grease through the seals within a minute or two and remain perfectly happy. And heat just isn't a problem at the RPMs they will be turning.

Here's the latest experiment
Molded seal. I will try it out this weekend, after it fully cures.

Thanks James. This IMS bearing thing has been fun.

If I were to go this route, this is the way I would want to do it
As I have mentioned, I think 10 cc/min would keep oil flowing out the bearing.

Can a blanking plate be fitted before inserting the new IMS bearing. this would stop oil getting into IMS shaft and stop air pressure into bearing from inside shaft, just a thought.

Yes, a good idea -"The Solution" uses one. IIRC it is the only IMSB to do so.

That is because it is part of the patents for the Solution.
