Crank Case

[Graphichead]

I took off the top end and found that there was no oil in the crank case... I'm no expert, but I think that's bad.

 

How much oil should be in there just debris from a blown piston?

Is there a specific brand I should use for a Vito's Keyed Crank and a 68mm Cub?

 

The bearings seem fine... there is a little lateral play on the rod between the washers... is that normal?

 

Do I need to split the case to clean the crank and crank case? Or will a bunch of cleaner and a shopvac do? I really don't want to open the case up if I don't have to.

If your talking about no oil in your crank area you are correct. It is a two stroke motor, and the crank is lubed with the oil you add in the fuel. There will only be residual amounts of oil from that in your crank and cylinder area. If you munched a piston it would be good to split the cases in order to get any small parts out of there. If it didnt break into pieces, I guess you could always rinse the cases out with gas and turn it upside down to get the parts out. I wouldnt advise doing it that way.
