I was kind of wondering myself after all the commotion. I guess this is a easy way to see.
 
I dont demag...but I know I should (Kinda like flossing)......I stay up nights worrying about the next time I'll find that I have a motor full of Iron Shavings that I'll need to get out in a hurry. <----------Smell the sarcasm

Only problem is every time I end up with a bag of iron filings in my motor the filings dont stick to my crank and seem to end up in the bearings............maybe I should start degaussing my BaLLs! :blink:

I don't do it myself but I do know that some of the engine builders I've used do it as part of their process on CMB's. Namely Stan Simpson but it wasn't for performance. It was to keep the shavings out of the needle bearings as he ground on it.
 
I suppose if i was more serious with racing and stuff. But for what im doing there is no need. But doing so cant hurt

Phil ;) :rolleyes: :)

He doesn't take the bearings out while he's grinding?

I was thinking the same thing. It must be the needles in the crank/rod assembly on the EVO motors as they are a pressed assembly.

At the time he was working on my motors he didn't because the fit on the 2 halves were so bad that once you seperated them and pressed them back, they would spin as soon as you launched the boat, causing the motor to become unbalanced and bound up.

So this is what he did. He degaused the crank, rod and bearings and then dipped the whole thing in wax to seal up the bearings. Once he was finished cutting on the crank, he would melt the wax and run it through a sonic cleaner.
