The orientation of the hole might simply be planned obsolescence they have it just high enough and it will last only so long either grease comes out or water goes in. If it was at 12 o’clock it would last longer I would suppose. It’s the only explanation to me that makes sense.

Do not remove the seal if you install a greaseless bearing. If you do remove the seal, put a new one back. It helps keep water splashing in your bilge out of the gimbal bearing. Not perfect but pretty darn good and everything helps with I/O's.

My bearing could not go all the way in...I have the proper greaseless bearing but it doesn't go all the way in? Any suggestions . Thank you for your greatly detail videos

I managed to install with the dot closer to 11 O'clock. I really don't see for the sealed bearing why it matters given there is no need to line up the the grease hole. Any idea why for the sealed bearing it needs to be clocked to 10? Should I be worried if its closer to 11?

Can you please give us an simple way of winterizing mercriuser cummin 120 hk, 1,7 DTI? Can we just fill up the topp point on the heatexenger endlock it up, then drain the heatexanger and aftercooler...
