The guys in my class today, here in Atlanta will learn about this tomorrow.

Otherwise its not shared or even spoken about. Plus, I want to see how long it takes the "expert opposition" that has attempted to join our ranks in the past year or so to finally figure it out. We've only known about it for a decade.

I am currently attempting to see if this was part of the discovery documents for the IMS Bearing Failure class action lawsuit. I'd be willing to bet that its not.

Cracks in the bearing cage? Various frequencies created as a result?

Nope.. But this could increase load on the cage and lead to premature failure :-)

Jake,do u believe that regardless of how well the bearing is lubricated (ie DOF) the inevitable is bearing failure eventually regardless off single ,double ect. From what ive read
it would appear that lack off regular oil changes,wrong oil viscosity,driving at slow paces in higher gears,staying at 3000 rpm for extended intervals ect all will contribute to earlier failure but basically at standard bearing in this application is a bad idea and nothing but taking the bearing out off the equasion is the only SOLUTION!!
