I noticed a problem with my ported 044...

Don't remember seeing any carbon in the muffler. I took the muffler off about a month ago to powder coat it. No way to tell now?

Powder coat inside the muffler flaked off?

Ya it has to have been more than carbon or powder.

That sliver you found in the case was prolly a piece from the piston.

John, he fished it out with a magnet. It is steel....I think I had it embedded in my index finger once.... Yanked it out and threw it as far as I could. It could have landed in Pittsburgh!!!?

Thanks Duane! Hey Randy problem solved it's Duane's fault!

Thanks Duane! Hey Randy problem solved!

Always glad to help. The cross sectional shape is a bit of a riddle...

Oil seal driven too deeply?

Edge rubbed off by the bearing?

i thought also about something from the bearing. I guess we wont know until he split the case.
I never pay much attention setting the seals, if that is what happen in this case I will be a nervous wreck lol

He said it was magnetic.

Was the crank rubbing the bottom of the case? Something up with the bearing on that side?

The metal bent but with resistance.

Bristles from a wire wheel are hard.

No wire wheels around my bench!

Just a guess but what about a piece from the screens in the muffler? It looks a little small but like I said just a guess

Ah ha, there has been some rubbing on on side of the crank. You may find that was a small sliver of race or seal as previously stated. Was the flywheel bearing bad before the rebuild?
