i've about 4 gallons [25%] gone through , only a very small amount of fuel leaking out ,i mean very small, i dont think the crank is bent though ,because i took out the engine and done a bench test could not see any movement in crank it was smooth, no deflections or any of that type of movement . if the bearing is leaking out fuel that means it is drawing in in air as well does this mean my fuel mixture could be changed, and running leaner than i think it is.
u know of any way to test or see for definite if the crank is bent ,i imagine if it was though i would strip gears quite alot .

thanks madmark
