The bearing is coated ? PC3 or similar?
Pedro's Technofix DOF has an uncoated bearing.

Gelbster This is fun! There is some magic elixirs out there such as teflon etc. that claim they can prevent contact, I'm not sold. Oil film strength and pressure in the bearing is what prevents contact. Now wether it is loss of film strength due to excessive heat or oil starvation due to long high G turns, damage is usually instantaneous as far as human reaction time is concerned.
