Has anyone seen an example of a sealed (-2RS) ball bearing used in a gas/diesel/motorcycle/boat engine application where it's exposed to engine oil?
I'm working on a re-design of a 1980's engine product that used an open 6004 C3 bearing with minimal splash lube. I'm planning to use the same size bearing, but sealed. My transmission experience says sealed ball bearings last much longer in oil sumps. But never seen any used in engine oil.
