Default BOP pilot bearing… no side shielded?

So after I found the 6202 bearing to be too wide (11mm), I decided to try the BOP version that states it is correct for the application. Problem is, neither side is shielded.

Putting extra high temp grease in the crank recess behind the bearing sounds disastrous . Likewise, isn’t it just asking to attract clutch dust and any dirt, reducing its’ lifespan?

Here is a pic from the website showing at least one side sealed and also a pic of the one I received with daylight showing through.

(Sorry about the pics on their sides, every post I make with pics lately seems to choose the orientation it wants for me even though they are upright on my phone!)

Thanks
