Wow, I did not know that. Great info. No more worries about failed seals blowing up the engine!

One more question. Does the LN bearing have any special design characteristics that would force splash the bearing? How does it overcome the forces of centrifugal force as shown in Pedro's video, or is it designed to run for extended periods with little to no lubrication?
