I dont know that any air is actually being drawn through the front bearing since the vacuum created within the engine is fairly low and there is such a large orifice for it to enter via the carb.
It's not meant to seal the front bearing....it's meant to offer better dirt deflection as it has extremely tight tolerances around the crankcase!
It actually spins with the crank!
