Do Sea Water Pumps Come Pre-Packed With Grease From Volvo?

[GSB Cruiser]

I just got a replacement sea water pump for my AQAD41A diesel and I see some grease on the shaft, but I don't see any visible grease on the bearing. I'm just wondering if they put grease on the bearings in the factory. I wouldnt imagine you'd have to take it apart just to put grease in there before the install.

There is assembly grease on them, but the bearings are not supposed to be greased. They run in engine oil from the timing gear that runs the injection pump.
