Spridget engines

[gwood13@getonthe.net (G. Wood)]

   Just a thought about rear crank oiling.  The stock Spridget doesn't have
a rear oil seal, but relies on channels to bleed the oil back into the rear
of the sump.  On a steep slope (as on some car carriers} oil will run into
the clutch.  Insufficient crankcase ventilation will also encourage oil
leakage.  Extra ventilation and cleanup of the drain back channels will
usually correct the problem.            Gary
