Larry,
Checking my official 1959 Austin Healey Sprite BMC workshop manual makes no
mention of oiling the backs of the bearings. They do say " smear the crankpins
with engine oil"....
I have never put oil on the back of bearings, if they ever move you are in
trouble.
Be interested to see if anyone does.

Subject: [Spridgets] Bearing
When assembling the main and rod bearings I have never oiled the back of the
bearing. One of the proverbial OBM's (old british mechanics) tells me that I
should always oil the back.
Anybody have an opinion on this?
