Im running my 160FX engines on gasoline, and they have their rear bearings open. - but still, in theory a closed bearing with its own grease will usually last alot longer than an open bearing.
Where did you come up with this theory? It is absolutely FALSE. my goodness, where do some of you fellows get these ideas?
Jack,

I think you rushed through reading the first post. Asmund was simply looking for an opinion on the bearings as to whether the seals were necessary. I think you over reacted as if he was making a statement. I believe his statement about the sealed bearings being better than unsealed was really a veiled question. Can't tell now though because I think he edited his original post.
