chetgoff Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I was looking at the bottom end walkthrough on here and was just curious is this something you could do or not do does it really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEE HP Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 they are bathed in oil once you fill the crankcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burt Reynolds Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 That depends on how dry you are putting them in the crankcase. Sometimes ill do bottom ends where i dont even romove the tranny,or i remove and leave it wet,In those cases i wont add anything. But if you have cleaned it out its just to easy not to do. It may only take a second to circulate oil,but it takes even less time to score the hell out of a bearing or gear or tranny shaft. I would never put dry tranny parts or bearings or shifting parts in without some type of oil,even if its as simple as puttin a few drops of atf in a bearing and spinning it by hand. When metal is not lubricated it will score and dissapear fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 i keep all my clusters and such oiled up with residue at all times, aside from cleaning, or any cutting, which is followed by cleaning and a little oiling, mostly to keep any rust from forming, but i don't clean the oil off, other than wiping up drips, or wiping off something that fell on them..... just whatever is going to run in the case.

bansheesrtoys Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 royal purple assembly lube,they make two kinds one i use on bearing one i use on shafts and forks why do you use two different ones? when you put in case oil the trans bearings,shafts,and forks share the same oil. I would just use the same oil(new) i run in the case to lube everything. On the crank bearings i would use premix oil but just a little bit don't get crazy with it. And after you have it all togher(with oil in) i would turn the motor over a few times befor starting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
