So I understand that the two small oil inlet and outlet on the bottom of the crankcase go back to the oil reservoir tank. But the oil reservoir tank is actually higher in the crankcase like quite a bit. What stops the center crankcase from filling entirely with oil?
Or does the center crankcase where the rotary timing gear is supposed to fill up to the level of the crankshaft?
I ask this because I have a leaking front bearing seal. And I'm wondering if the reason it's leaking is that what oil is getting into the front crankcase under the piston and leaking out the front seal.
If this is the case then the oil would be impeding the volume and the movement of the piston.
I know I should take out the engine to do a total replace all the bearing but I'm trying to put that off.
