Other Crank question

[timson]

I have a crank works 10 mm that i have run in my dasa for two seasons. I am freshening up the motor. Not sure if I should use this crank? It has some rust on it, but all the bearings are smooth and the rods are tight.

Looking for some input thanks

id run it, but if your nervous send it out. Whats worse, the rebuild of the crank or the rebuild of whatever it blows up if she decides to get hungry?

Rust is on the bearing races, they need to be replaced! (especially since it's not a cheap old 701)

If the outside of the bearings are rusty u can bet the insides of the bearings were too at some point but it cleaned it off last time it was ran. All u have to do is ask yourself whats it gonna cost when the bearing comes apart and the rod punches a hole through your motor?? I would have it rebuilt. Best to be safe..

Fog it after every ride............or else

I only ride salt once a year and fog it after i will fog it all the time now

yea thats a little odd. Id just be sure when your done riding that its run good and hot to clear out any moisture in the bottom end. my entire motor went for a swim last year, and it didnt leav a mark, but i fired it up right after and rode it for around 2hrs that day post swamp.
