That's one of the things that baffled me. Thats why i didn't bother to think about the leaky front bearing during break in... Plus somebody told me that its fine for it to come leaky as thats how their engine was... Obviously some leak is fine but last time i ran the engine when i heard the metallic sound, the engine was leaking alot more than i would say is healthy and it wouldn't hold a tune or idle.

I think I'll just get some TKO bearings for the engine as i really cannot be asked to go through customer support due to the nature of the product.

I assure you the engine was brand new. It still has incredibly tight pinch... Ive only just started being able to turn it over by hand!
