and did I hit it hard...

Well As i was pouring the mixture of oil and coolant out of the motor and waited and waited.. and took the break lever off and buried it in the mud to flip it more.. and waited.. WELL as I look down there I see what looks like nice solid chunks of something.. isn't metal so Idk.. if it's just some chunks of sludge or what.. but this is looking more and more like I need to split it.. it's full of deisel at the moment and I'm homing it was nothing and will just wash out.. but this is really starting to suck...

Any ideas? If it has to be split.. I can't do it myself and I wont even try.. so Idk what to do.. I came up early today and planne on working on it until I had it running even if I stayed up part of next week... now this really pisses me off b/c I was determined to get her done..

And where did you find these chunks?

dude you can split them. if you can turn a wrench, you can split em. banshee engines are the easiest engines to work on.

I'm talking about in the bottom end.. remeber I got coolant in the bottom end so I had to dump it and put oil in it so I could flush it out.. well yeah I was just flushing it out when I seen it

Tranny or Crank Case? Will it break up with carb cleaner?

8-ball · #9 (**permalink**) 03-27-2008

crank.. all of this is going on in the crank case

and I have some diesel in it (my dad can get some for free) so that's what I'm using right now.. I poured some in there .. btw how long is it safe to let it sit in therE?.. liek I don't want it to eat up my seals on my bearings or something like that.. but I'm going to let it soak and dump it later..

What were you cleaning out of it to begin with?
I'd dump that diesel out & use fresh gas or carb cleaner which evaporates!
