Metal Shavings

[Iliketogofast]

Got my jug off, looking at the crank shaft theres a little bit of metal debris on it. I wiped my finger across it and got a little bitty shavig of metal. I guess I have to clean it out. How do I do it? Btw, my dome is scored up bad from the piece of piston bouncing up and down inside it. I'm changing heads. What's the best head? ESR, Pro Design Cool Head, what?

im thinkin run oil threw it, drain, it, run threw, drain, do that a few times

[Iliketogofast]

Thats what I thought at first, but then I figured it wouldn't work. Maybe if I fill it all the way up, then turn the kick start a few times and drain it

[Scott-300ex]

you don't wanna blow out seals if you fill it all the way up

automatic tranmission fluid with half oil works great just run it till it gets hot and change it andput oil back in it!!!

you can run gas in there just to get the crap out then clean the gas out with oil

[greg_gorrell]

hell no...dont run it with gas in it. run some clean oil through it and change it after running for a bit and refill...you should be good after that.

just think if you get blowby and the gas in your case caught on fire

can you say shrapnal

you'd be dead

dont run it with gas, just use it to get the crap out the flush the gas out wit oil, i personaly havent done it b4 but read about it in mxa, and i think my dad had to do it once bcause of some dirt or somthing on his 70 somthin yz175
