Double row bearing, no snap ring?
Today i removed the ims glange of my 99 after locking the cam and removing the two tensioners.. I noticed that there was no snap ring in it, is this odd?

When you pull the bearing, it will "snap" when the ring breaks as it comes out. Best to load up the puller and give it rest then load it up some more until it snaps then the bearing will come out. Be sure to watch for pieces of the ring as it comes out so none fall into the sump. Not a huge risk, just watch.

I wasn't convinced to swap the bearing since I dont think overload is a problem on the double row bearings but a is a problem on the single row bearings... I think that the lack of lubrication seems to be why these double row fail every now and then. I read somewhere that LN ships their bearings without the outer seal so it lubricates better, and 997 folks remove the seal and have not experienced any problems so it has been a proven concept.
