i got a engine that has a tiny bit of rust here and there on the end of the crankshaft. it is nothing really but just wonted to clean it off and i was wondering what is the best way to do it.

Thanks

Mitchell

mate I would get out the dremel and give it a buff up or use the wire wheel just keep an eye on how much is coming off
cheers

wouldnt that reck the enging its the around the crank pin (not on the crank pin but on that part of the engine

(See pick below)

The red is not the rust i thought i would add some detail

you will have to take the crank out to do this, get a bit of fuel tube, cut it a little longer then the crank pin, fit it on the crank pin, if you slip it wont effect the pin in any way. use a small wire wheel of the dremmel, it wont take much to get it off. dont use polish, unless your willing to scrub the crank real good. polish is a corse paste, which if its not removed properly it will mix up with the fuel , and become a grinding agent. it creates wear. the wire wheel is plenty good enough, but still was the crank good.

thanks for that, it really helps.

all good then

hey Patto, hows that MM 353 going for you?

not as quick as grub's murnan 12-3 plus

yes I will back you up there Gruby

it only got used once, and i had issues with da car.
i was happy with the speed of it, but may need to use it again some time soon.

is that the motor you used last meet ? the Murnan 3sct ? haha
my 3sct wasnt that bad, and im sure there is more potential to come from the MM353. time will tell. and pipe choice, and tyre stocks
speaking of which i am low for this weekend. will have a choice set for the Final, not the qualies this time
ps. dont scratch me new car this weekend, im more than capable of doign it me self

so many avenues i could go rowen, all in the name of fun, but i wont, considering the past.
ill also support Grub, his motors are fast, and so they shuold be, they are Murnans. i have only one, was used last year, i do ok with an underpowered car.

sorry Booster, we have hijacked the thread, time for me to go

na its all good, i got the answer i needed
