Main Bearing Cage Question

T95 said:

I just picked up a pair of NJ306E.M.C3 FAG bearings. The cage is the M,(machined brass retainer,rolling element riding) as opposed to the M1,[ machined brass retainer, rolling element riding(crosspiece riveted)] which is usually recommended. Is the M as opposed to the M1 an acceptable cage design, or is this thing going to designate into a million pieces?
