But it looks like the crankshaft is getting lubed up quite nicely from this oil. and no i dont think i got dirt in it, i said that becuase i dont know if there is dirt in it. I just bought the 4 wheeler and im trying to clean and fix everything wrong with it. I
Hi, I stand corrected, 110octane. I always try to give good information, but the fingers were going slower than the mind in that case. Sorry again, and I’ll start double checking everything from now on. jtomasi1, to answer your question, there won’t ever be too much oil here. If the level does rise up to the crankshaft, the motion of the flywheels and connecting rod will help generate turbulence to get the oil back into suspension in the fuel/air mixture (the situation is very different on four-strokes, but they’re not a concern here). If you can get at the right angle, it probably looks like there’s a lot of oil down there, but I can confidently say you don’t have to worry about it; it means things are normal.
Just to be clear here, the crankcase is separate from the transmission/primary drive on all two-stroke engines, the Blaster being one. The transmission needs oil to lubricate the clutch, gears, and bearings inside. The crankcase, however, MUST be separated by a seal (located on the crankshaft between the crankcase and primary drive) from the rest of the engine because fuel/air flows into that area before shooting up into the transfer ports and then into the cylinder above the piston as the transfer ports are uncovered by the piston. In fact, there is such a thing as crankcase compression because pressure in the crankcase created by the piston moving downward on its stroke and the tuned exhaust creating its own pull makes pressure for the fuel/air to be forced into the cylinder for good cylinder-filling.
If there was a hole in the crankcase, the quad would not run very well, if at all. There would also have to be a cause for such a hole such as a chunk of piston skirt getting slammed into it or a rod bearing going out and making the connecting rod dance inside the case (I have witnessed both). In either situation, your engine would be blown and you DEFINITELY would know about it.
From your other post, you don’t seem very sure there is even a problem at all. You seem more concerned about the oil itself rather than dirt in the oil. So right now I can say that you shouldn’t worry about the oil in the crankcase; it is a sign of a healthy two stroke. So you should not waste your time trying to drain it out or whatnot. Go riding instead, that makes anyone happier.
