Wow! What a compliment! Pedro used my findings (and didn't give me credit)! The most sincere form of flattery is imitation, or in this case, taking credit where credit is not due. I'm no where near as long winded as Pedro, but take a (short) peek at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzHwWUgU37k . If someone steals from me, I tend not to trust them..., or do business with them, it's a character thing. I would highly recommend that to anyone. I'd also recommend researching spray (maybe not so good) versus mist (a lot better) oiling on major ball bearing manufacturing sites as I did. Also be very cautious about where the oil is stolen from to oil the bearing, it should be filtered, and not bias the overall engine oil pressure side to side. And as far as the thermodynamics of this rationale goes, I'd challenge anyone, no matter what their reputation or experience to prove the perfect gas laws (or as near as the atmosphere gets) are wrong. In other words, for the less technically inclined, Pedro is completely correct, though not original. He needs to either research more, or cite his sources. If you look at my other videos you can see how I solved this problem while I rebuilt my own engine. Never take my ideas as your own without citing me or I will lay it all out on the table for everyone to see.
