What's to prevent oil from leaking from the back side of the hub through the bolt hole?

While the hub on the crank is not an interference fit, it is somewhat tight. You would have to build up crankcase pressure and the oil would have to squeeze between the snout of the crank and the hub to the washer, go under the washer and come out from underneath the bolt head.
With that kind of crankcase pressure, the lips on the front seal would be flappin and pushed outward before it came out from under the bolt head. this is my opinion only .... others may vary ... but variety is the spice of life and afterall, I don't give a flyin' fuch ........... |
