If you need a rear main, it could be from excessive end play, worn thrust bearings. If the crank is walking, it could be causing the cam to walk too. Doesn't matter if the cam is chain or gear driven, unless it's got a thrust retainer, it can walk with the crank. Something to think about.
i was rereading. so let me ask you this. when the bearings wear out then the shaft walks longitudinally? and if so then does that mean that the seals leak as a result of that? or could the seals just be old and leaky?
