Tony,
If you operated our engines, you will see that the actual run temp, is on the cooler side of the temp range.
Sure... but if there is less bypass air, into the bearing tube... then the internal temps, within the tube can be higher than another manufacture. Obviously, it's a moot point, since we (as hobbyists) don't monitor bypass temps.
But, this could be a reason why my old AMT's love 500... and the KingTech doesn't. And I have my suspicions that my little wren44 didn't like it either.

As for DTE leaving flats on the balls, I have not personally witnessed that.
I know Berry was saying, the guys down in OZ were having issues with the DTE, but it wasn't a big problem in the USA. I figure I would just pick your brain a little.
Sorry if I was getting a little deep on this. I'm a Physicist, who snapped... left my comfy day job in a lab... and opened a custom motorcycle shop. (and have turned machinist, engineer) So... I don't like "Black box" answers, of... "It doesn't work, don't use it". (LOL)
But... as I said... I stopped using 500 anyway.
