Hi guys,
I've been lurking for a while and absorbing as much knowledge as I can. Thanks for all the great info.
I just recieved an ms660 kit and upon inspection I noticed a ton on aluminum shavings in the crankcase halves from when they tapped the bolt holes and it sticks in the nooks and crannies due to the oil coating from the manufacturer. I also found that some had gotten into the crankcase bearings and in between the bearings and seals. I would point out that this could easily be the cause of some of the lower end bearing problems I've read about.
So a heads up to flush the bearings and crankcase really well before installing.
My question is...
What do you guys recommend rinsing the crankcase and bearings with? If I can save the seals that would be great, but I realize the only way to be 100pct sure there isn't a chip lurking between the seals and bearings would be to pull and replace the seals.
Appreciate any advice.
