I'm certainly no expert and I wouldn't dare side with any particular ims bearing provider since I understand f*** all in bearings. But from my ignorance I think that some more oil being fed to the ceramic bearings wouldnt hurt.
how about using LN's ceramic bearings with the oil feeder from the other end of the shaft from EPS (that requires a punch) to help the bearings with some oil.
As I said, I have no clue how bearings work, I'm just looking for the best way to go with upgrading my bearing without taking the engine out of my car, and I'm after an unbiased opinion.
in the meantime I found another video from pedro, here's the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCE-KnTDSvo where he compares a brand new ceramic bearing with one that has 45,000 miles on it and there is a big difference in play in the bearings. Any thoughts on that? why has that happened to a dual row bearing which should last at least 75,000 miles? in the other video he claims that his steel bearing in his boxster have already lasted 125,000 miles with the DOF, so obviously he's claiming that that's much better than LN's recommended bearing life.
Again, I know nothing in this field, but I'm just trying to buy whats best out there, since these bearings don't come cheap, and I don't want to be regretting my decision in a couple of years, thanks
