John: The needle bearing rollers were more expensive to make and install during an engine build at the factory. Yes, they are noisier. However, they are less prone to wear and fail in sustained high rpm usage.

Thanks Dyke. Is it motor markedly louder with these rollers? How would you describe that noise?

John: Most people would never notice any difference. However, If you put the two engines side by side, the one with the needles will sound "busier", but not necessarily louder.
