Oh ok. But my question is, what will happen if you add something similar to the retrofit bearing, will more oil end up doing any harm to it? I'm asking because I was always under the impression that any rotating part works better when it has oil being fed to it. Are ceramic bearing that much different to steel bearings in that just splash oil will do?
What would be the results if you had to compare a normal retrofit installation compared to one that is fed oil, which one would last longest? Most probably Jake has gone through this already,just curious to know what the results will be.
