What does bearing clearance have to do with oil leaks?=C2=A0You must have s=
ome very precise holes in your transmission that allows only synthetic oil =
to escape. I am not buying that theory.Gary=C2=A0

Found this info by looking for the molecule size of synthetic oil.=C2=A0 Mo=
st conventional oil is about 2 microns and that is why we set our bearing c=
learance at .002 to allow the oil to pass. Early machining does not match w=
hat we have today with the close tolerances we can now achieve...so the fin=
er synthetic runs out.=C2=A0 If I run Redline in my Healey trans it ends up=
 on the floor. Regular 30W stays in, and only leaves a quarter size puddle.=
 Used lots of good sealant but that wont keep the new oils in if they are g=
ood soldiers:"The main difference between synthetic motor oil and conventio=
nal motor oil is found in their molecular structure. In a mineral oil, the =
molecules come from organic, natural materials, and as we know, nature isn'=
