Default Baker High Torque Primary Bearing.

Plan on a 107 this winter, and while there's not enough hp on this to really create problems on the pb, race walk could still be an issue. Since I'll be freshening up things anyway I thought of using the high torque bearing and seal kit. Sounds good initially ,but since the oem race is removed the possibilty, should this bearing go for a crap, there is risk of scoring up the primary shaft. Second problem is the new seal rides directly on the primary shaft and over time could cut a groove in it reducing it's ability to seal. Knowing this, is it worth swapping or stay oem? Thoughts?

I have been running this setup for two years and so far over 37,000 with out any issues. I got tired of the stock races walking on the shaft (twice) and switched over to the Baket HT bearing. Glad I did.
