00shee00 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Get yourself some carb cleaner, thats is you don't have access to a solvent tank. Blast the tip of the carb cleaner in there really good all the ports. Blow dry with some compressed air. slap them on and ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hot soapy water...and pull a white glove inspection when you're done. Using a white towel or rag, you shouldn't see ANY dirt or oil from the cylinders on the rag. Carb cleaner has a bit of oil in it...which, can make metal shavings or dirt stick to the cylinders... Once it is clean...use a THIN coat of two stroke oil on the cylinder walls. DO NOT coat the shit out of them. Spray a few drops on the rod bearings, and a little on the wrist pin and bearing as well. That's all you need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you need... Don't be afraid to slap a shit-ton of oil in there. You can never have too much oil during assembly. It will all burn off in a few seconds any way. I coat the hell out of my junk any time I tear it down. I use about a cap-full of oil on each cylinder/piston/skirt/rings each time I pull the jugs off.

dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Dunno...BigRed. I've been told by several builders that dousing the piss out of the cylinders makes it harder for the rings to seat and break in. 2 stroke oil burns ok when heavily diluted with gas...on it's own take quite a bit longer...if you think about it...it's primary function is to keep the shit lubed...not burn off!! Just my .02... I guess it's just like break in procedure...each has their own way... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbn70 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Soap and water in the kitchen sink. then spray the cylinder with WD40 and wipe out with a white paper towel, if it is gray looking then wash again. then do the WD40. Once the paper towel is white after you wipe it on the cylinder it is clean and ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 i washed mine in hot soapy water, dried with air hose and towels, then oiled them up. just be sure to thoroughly dry them and not to let them sit for long after washing without putting oil on them. they'll start to show surface rust pretty quick.

spunmonkey Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Warm soapy water and compressed air to dry them is what the service manual recommends. And then i use marvel mystery oil with the white towel trick to make sure there is nothing left in the cyclinders. Dont use synthetic oils cause you will never properly break in your motor. There is not enough friction to properly seat the rings. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top end will last me around 75 hrs on average, and i ride the piss out of my bike for the whole 75 hrs. Hasn't failed me yet! Like you said, to each their own. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Dont use synthetic oils cause you will never properly break in your motor. There is not enough friction to properly seat the rings Run whatever premix you are going to run, period... I'm not abeliever of that premix it really rich (16:1 or 20:1) for the first tank...or don't use synthetics line. I've used the same oil at the same ratio for break in on every top end I've done...and I break mine in by 2 heat cycles and beating the snot out of them.
