Dirty Cranks

Post by D Johnson »

All,
I thought I would put some of my recent experience on this forum to help others.
I am in the process of rebuilding a SV engine and have done what I always do and removed the bungs in the crank to clean it out. I would recommend this to everyone during a rebuild as on this present engine I cleaned out enough gunge to make a golf ball.
If this gunge is not cleaned out when you start running your newly rebuilt engine with modern detergent oil all the gunge will wash into your big ends.

Hope this helps :)
