[QUOTE="davidd, post: 106929, member: 1177"] I have always run the the drive bearing with both seals in place. Carleton Palmer did also. The bearing company maintained that the lubricant inside the sealed bearing would last for the useful life of the bearing. They made a good case that the bearing would last a lot longer if it were not exposed to dirty oil. On an engine that John Renwick built many years ago he used the sealed bearing as well as the ET236 seal carrier on the case as described in Richardson. Just as a note, there are at least two different ET236 seal carriers available as I have received both. I prefer the one from Maughan because it is designed so you can leave the bearing circlip in place. I believe the one from the Spares Co. requires the circlip to be removed. David [/QUOTE]
