Joe, I think gjeffers may have a good idea with repositioning the plane to get the oil back down to the bearings. As far as the front bearing is concerned, it is sealed on both sides w/ nice seals. Afterrun oil will probably not penetrate the seals here. The real problem seems to be the rear bearing. Mine has extreme rust, especially in the area between the bearing and case area(front of bearing). Today I went to a local auto machine shop to have a buddy of mine glass bead the crank. It looked like hell. Kinda like I pulled it out of the ocean.

And yes cumn thru, I will give a very close look at the rest of the engine.

I have been thinking. Maybe the crankcase breather nipple is allowing too much humidity into the engine? I did have a 8 inch piece of tubing on mine which I think should help keep any moisture from entering. Any thoughts?

BTW, I will be installing this onto my new U Can Do 3D. Hopefully folks won't think we've hijacked the thread.
