I never said the engine was brand new , that engine is totally whipped ! The brown on the bearing is carbon from a wiped out piston/sleeve earlier on in it's life when the front bearing failed ,that crank is supposed to be new along with the rod , about a gallon ago , but I am serious douting it now, that engione spent more time in a box going back for warrenty work than it did on the track , but the point is how nice that crank looks because it didn't rust , my Crono 4 port looks just as nice except the crank pin and piston/sleeve isn't spent LOL
