I have heard it said that moisture plus periods of inactivity promotes rust and pitting in the rear main. Could a fully sealed bearing minimize this by virtue of it being coated in grease not used engine oil? Would the bearing run hotter not being flushed in engine oil? In other words are sealed rear mains a good idea?
