Always run a rifle brush through all the holes in your crank before assembling an engine. I saw a high-dollar race engine trash a rod bearing after a quick assembly job of a backup engine between weekend races. Mud wasp nest in a crank passage!

The story continued when I disassembled a 235 this week on a cold Idaho farm and as the sun rose and warmed up everything more wasps came stumbling out of the head, bell housing, and clutch. I took the block to a machine shop and advised they put it in the oven right away! The power of nature, eh?!!
