Take the engine apart.
The bearings I had to replace.
The conrod was fine, but the crank was dirty of the rust, but this you can quiet easy wipe off with brillo soap pads

just be carefull not to damage the conrod pin on the crank, but in order to prevent this, put the conrod on, and hold it with your thumb, while with warm water and the soap pads you are cleaning the crank.
You can also clean the outside of the liner with this stuff, but leave the inside and the piston alone.
just wondering is it becoz im using tornado fuel..?? in my 1/10 engine, i'm using 353 09 with O'Donnell 16% fuel ...the engine was clean even im not use afterrun oil after bashing at my local track. But with tornado this is happened to me...so sad becoz Flash .21 cost me about 2.2k my currency money...
No, not with the amount of rust from your pictures, "Novarossi" already mentioned that the ”Nitro Buster” Spray Cleaner might be the source of the problem....
It is ok to use it on the outside, but not the internals of your engine....
The older Tornado is a fuel which doesn't leave any residu in your engine, so also no protection, and that is exactly why i recommend everybody to always use afterrun, and not just 3 drops.
From your nickname i can not see if you live in a dry or humid environment, which obviously is the source of rust in engines...
i will try to use WD40 to clean it...maybe next week will try for it...will upload more picture on cleaning proses...
now had no time due to lots of works at my office....
Don't use WD40!!!. It seem that it will damage the putty in the crankshaft.
