    I have often thought of doing this same thing.  But, you would have to be so careful to avoid plugging the recirc groove and port, so you would have to apply it near the bottom of the bearing.  Again, being careful not to get any in the bearing as well.  Probably best to not apply the anerobic sealer I guess.  Again, it’s just too bad that the engineers didn’t incorporate a combination of the two systems, the recirc groove and port along with an oring below it.  Oh well.
