Well, to be straight up about it, this idea relies on unfiltered oil which directs any particulate contamination directly through the roller bearing. This is why I didn't pursue it on my engine after I thought of it, even with a ball bearing. Particulate contamination is a major cause of cascading bearing failure which is why its not uncommon to see a certian organization request their products not be used in IMS failure recovery cases. With this setup I'd definitely run a better filter than stock and neodymium magnets on the filter and on the oil pan particularly under the oil pickup.
