Default Saito 180 Problem

When you are putting after run oil in it, are you putting it in the breather nipple on the bottom of the engine or on the glow plug hole? On a 4 stroke, it needs to go in the breather nipple. Something else that I do after I'm done, is I'll stick a piece of fuel tubing over the nipple with a plug in the other end. If there is a piece of tubing over the nipple anyway to direct oil away from the plane, just stick a plug in it. This will help keep oil from dripping out, and will help keep moisture out. That's what I do, and I haven't had a bearing go bad yet in an engine that I've been the only owner of.
