New Top end Lube?

[houghkyle]

I just got my cylinders bored and ported and I am getting ready to install everything.  FYI....this is the first time I have done a top end on a banshee.  What kind of lubrication do I need to put on the cylinder walls after I clean all the honing dust out.  Also, do I need to lubricate anything else before I install it all?

i use the trans fluid and mix im going to use to lube it.

[houghkyle]

Are you talking about like belray gear saver oil?

[#1JUANstunna]

Use what ever 2 stroke oil you use to mix in your gas.

[houghkyle]

Are the cylinder walls the only thing I need to lubricate with that oil?

[#1JUANstunna]

I always do the walls, wrist pin bearing, and lil in the crank bearings if everything is new. That why everything isn't dry when you try to start it

 

 

Use a thin thin coat! Don't go crazy.

[houghkyle]

This is a stupid question and I am probably going to get a lot of crap for asking, but where would I find the crank bearing in the top end?

[#1JUANstunna]

Big round things in the case. Their is lil holes in the case to let lube in. Put a lil oil there and on the big end of the rod too.

Clean the cyl until a white paper towel comes out white. JMHO.

[houghkyle]

I was told to clean the cylinders with hot soapy water.  Is this correct?

[Emhyr]

only if you get them dry fast, but better to use a premix to clean the jugs than paper towels to make them dry

[Zillaguy]

Make sure reeds and intakes are removed...Clean the cylinders in mineral spirits, inside and out, very good... Blow them dry with compressed air, inside and out until dry.. Lube cyl walls lightly, lube upper and lower rod bearings, also lube piston rings.. use whatever brand of 2 stroke oil you use.

Place your 2-stroke mixing oil on a folded paper towel. Then buff the insides of your cylinders until you can do that and not see dark spots on the paper towel. Then you KNOW all the hone residue is off the cylinder wall surface. Plus your cylinder walls will have a nice thin coat of oil on them.

Oil your ring grooves and rings and work your way thru all the oil galleries of the rotating assembly.

I use hot soap water.
