Given my last post with the photos I will pose this question again... if I don't feel comfortable relying just on oil bath and oil splash lubrication, what is wrong with direct oil feed to a ceramic ball bearing - specifically the LN Engineering bearing??? Wouldn't the DOF allow the bearing to run with less wear and cooler? Wouldn't it remove variable lubrication and make it more consistent? These all seem like good things to me, and I really can't see aeration and system pressure losses as being significant down sides. So what exactly is the problem with DOF on a ceramic bearing?
