Steve, had a chat with MED regarding rear main oil leaks and any recommendations they had to solve it. Apparently their MG Midget Challenge engine don’t suffer from this problem because MED fits steel main cap (mid and ends), which are line bored to ‘very tight tolerances’.

For what its worth: mine is tightly machined, the crank is pulling in the oil when turning. If I turn the engine of there still will be a couple of drop lost every time. but on idling its leakfree.
