No, an open bearing would be lubed by oil, such as LN's ceramic can operate on very little oil. The chain from the crank to the IMS would drag up enough oil to keep it lubed. But if you put in a open steel bearing, there most likely wouldn't be enough oil to keep it cool and would over heat and sieze up.
