Will that not totally true engines dont dont run Ball bearing. They use a soft lead/copper/steel bearing which which rides on a layer oil and can pass small amounts of dirt though it with out issues.
Ball bearing as in the turbo Ride on the steel ***** and races with small amounts of oil for cooling. almost no room for dirt to pass by.
But what the real world diff in scoring and damaging the ball bearing in microns ?
