  • What grease to use to grease the end bearings (crank)

    Hi,

    I have cleaned my crankshaft in diesel fuel and now it is very clean and shiny [img]smile.gif[/img] .
    However the grease obviously was washed off, now I need to replace it, what is the best one to use for these bearings?
    Thx

    A generous application of 2-stoke oil, since that is the only lubrication they will ever see in use.

      Don't they contain some kind of a grease?

        No. They are lubed by the injection oil - that's it's purpose, in addition to lubricating the cylinders

          I thought that was only for the middle bearings, since the side ones from the PTO and the flywheel side are just coved by the case and have no access to no oil.

            All the bearings are open to oil and are lubed by it.
