Could be possible there is some oil build-up at the front-bearing, if the engine is working well then I would not worry too much about this, however if there is a lot of leaking then it might be good to change the front-bearing.
Concerning the Piston/Sleeve of the V12 can be used in the X12 engines, however the main-bearing of the X12 engine is different compared to the V12 engine.

thanks for the reply.. wat made me thnk about the bearing goin was after i clean the engine and put after run oil in it i spin the crankshaft and can see oil by the bearing .. even if i dont spin the shaft and just let the engine sit in the crt .5 oil will be visible by the bearing...
k now on to the v12 piston/sleeve.i just viewed the exploded vew on the v12 .. and notice there was a little pin that connects the piston to the conrad and 2 c clips. do i need to replace that as well?..
01700-0355 01700-0355/S ---piston sleeve
01700-477- front bearing 01700-475- rear bearing
01700-467- crank shaft
are these the parts i need to rebuild my x12 with the v12 internals? i need to get some price quotes on these parts.. as it seems it might be as well i just get a new engnine if its like $50 more than these parts total lol

This is normal that you see oil at the front-bearing especially when you let the oil you put inside the engine go there.
Part#01700-0355/S includes the piston/sleeve and conrod mounted with the wrist-pin and clips.
For the X12 you need main-bearing 01700-075
I think you are not looking at the right engine here, also this is not the place where we can quote you pricing, I suggest you contact your LHS or an on-line shop to assist you in this matter, we do not sell direct sorry.
In general if you need to change the piston/sleeve and crankshaft of an engine it is better to buy a new one.
