assembly fluid

[skraggy]

Getting ready to rebuild my 701.I have rebuilt many auto and truck engines...including chevy,ford,Mack,cummins and caterpillars.With them,I would use STP oil treatment for assembly fluid,and never had any failures during breakin.


My question is this...What do I use for assembly oil/fluid for a 2-stroke?

TIA

Re: assembly fluid

I don't know what you are going to be 'treating'. The only thing you should do is put some oil on your finger, run it around the cylinder before you assemble it over the pistons.

Shoudn't the bearings be lubed too?

Re: assembly fluid

They should have more than enough oil on/in them from the manufacturer. You don't do anything specifically during assembly.
