IMSB no seals =no good ?

Tweedboru;525943]
Thanks for the Amazon source, could not find one at the time.
You are welcome.
" the (IMS)shaft had about 1/2 cup of engine oil in it even with both seals in place."
But that was when you still had a bearing with both seals. Now you have no seals so it will be at least 1/3 full of oil.
"The car runs great ." Glad to read that. But it does not prove that an IMSB with no seals is a good choice. No IMSB deep-groove kits supply bearings with no seals. Most have one seal.
Yours will be an interesting experiment. One difficulty is purging the old oil from the IMS when you drain the engine oil. Park it draining with the front high for a few days?
Hope it works out well for you
