I took my engine apart, renewed the rear main and put a little bit of preload, about 4 thou on the fronts.

One of the people I regard as an Austin 7 guru is used to my turning up with something running "like a bag of nails."

When I went to his yard with this car, he checked under the bonnet to see if it was still an Austin engine!

So that is another vote for a little bit of preload on used front mains.
