Crank shaft bearing question.

Post by Fletch 2 »

Hi,
just a couple of questions on crank shaft bearings. When putting your case back together, how should you lube you bearings and exactly how do they stay lubricated once the engine is running?
Thanks,
Fletch.

The visible holes in the crankcase that face the cylinder gather the two stroke oil that falls out of suspension in the fuel, and drip it onto the bearings.

When the crankshaft is whipping around, there is a pretty good mist in there!

On assembly, just drip some pure oil ( no fuel) down the holes and you'll be fine .
