I have not seen a LWFW destroy bearings on its own, unless... it was too light. On an EJ anything under 14lbs is pushing it. 12lbs is a no go. At 12lbs the FW is so light it causes misfires.

I have not tried to find the breaking point in an FA. It gets kind of expensive, lol. But I have not seen excessive wear on an FA from just a LWFW (yet, you never know).

I have also not used/installed a FA20 LWFW at less than 14lbs (yet).
