keep the nut on the e shaft as much as possible. ie take it off remove flywheel, put it back.
you have no idea how much it sucks to pull apart a motor you just built because the threads got damaged, put the nut on and it will protect the threads |
i always did that, but only cause im so damn good at losing things...
|
did we find this out the hard way recently?
|
I always wrap the threads of the E-shaft with a crapton of electrical tape.
|
I usually put nuts, bolts back if they can be. If not bag and tag them with threads wrap cloth or something arount them.

Better advice, once you remove the e-shaft from the motor, place it back into the flywheel and put the nut on, this will protect the e-shaft from rolling around and gettign scratched until you are ready to put the motor back together.

Bingo -- put some e-tape around it. Also, wrap the shaft up in a bunch of shop cloth rags (clean) and get it out of sight in a safe place.

Get a dedicated "clean table"? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
If the rebuild is going to take a while (i.e. not immediately after tear-down), we usually wrap the e-shafts with a rag or cloth. Any serious down-time will cause those damn things to rust like a mofo, so we shoot them down with oil. -Ted |
grease works just as well, just lather up the whole shaft really well, it will wipe off, and will leave a film for sliding in when you rebuild the motor.

HAHA---
i found that out the hard way too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png no worries though... either live n learn, or buy some very small files to clean the threads back up. |
my local metric hardware shop does thread repair
|
I found this out the hard way but i just used the nut to straighten them back out.
I was worried. |
