Cleaning
NOTE: New crankshafts are coated with a heavy preserva-
tive. Use solvent to thoroughly remove the coating. Brush or
flush the packing debris from the oil drillings before install-
ing crankshaft in the engine. Use a light preservative to
prevent rust during engine rebuild.
Use a fine crocus cloth or a 400 grit emery cloth to remove
discoloration or light scratches from the machined
surfaces.
Use a hone stone. Polish the outside diameter at the front
and the rear oil seal locations, the flywheel mounting
location, and the vibration damper location. Remove all
the small scratches and the grooves.
