that still doesn't address the issue of....what if the front bearing is drawing atmosphere INTO the engine. No one has addressed that yet and earlier in this thread or another one i was reading is that seems to be a common problem causing premature wear on the bearing due to it drawing in dirt and if the draw is bad enough, that would indeed cause tuning problems. I want to know how to make it leak oil which i have read is done by plugging up the bypass port. So as i have stated REPEATEDLY, i have already discovered a leak is definitely there with the air and soapy water test. There is a leak in the front bearing, i have proven this as fact, and i'm not just trying to "pin it down as front bearing". IT IS FACT Please read my posts before you comment. This is a hotly debated argument but it seems that almost all nitro engines leak in the front bearing to an extent, but its best for them to leak OUTWARDS which as stated before by others, the oil helps to create this seal. All i am trying to do is achieve this by making my engine leak outwards from the front seal, my plane leaks outwards and runs just fine, my car is almost certainly drawing inwards as to no oil leakage
