It's rated for a higher RPM than OEM as well. No issues with mine in maybe 4k miles this spring and summer. -J

How is this cage working out for you, JAR? I CANNOT get the cage off of the motor shaft. The allen set screw was seized, so I had to drill that out. Even still, the cage is just seized to the shaft. Short of cutting the shaft off the motor and drilling the shaft out, it's not going to happen.
