KK used a Ceramic Hybrid bearing and removed both seals.That bearing is more 'expensive' than the usual steel bearing, not cheaper.
Nothing wrong with the bearing spec but it failed in his engine.

I looked up the bearing he used. From what I can tell, it was a $60 or so ceramic hybrid bearing, where the SKF hybrid is $150. It was a cheap hybrid, maybe price wise above a steel bearing, but effectively you would be worse off with that bearing as compared to an SKF steel one. Fatigue limits for his bearing were very poor, not a bearing suited for an engine.
