Oil in the bore

[paulbell6]

Hi all, i'm rebuilding my stag engine and it is mounted on an engine stand. It has been rotated so that the crank shaft is uppermost for a week or two now, and today when I span it through 180 degrees to have a look at the piston tops I noticed that there was a run of oil on one of the bores. I have been liberally splashing oil all over the crank etc during re build and I wondered if some could have gone into the bore and over a period of time worked its way past the rings.
What do the "Guru's" think? Am I in trouble?

Thanks

Paul

Not a problem Paul, it's just found it's way around the rings and through the end gap's. Instead of using oil on reassembly I use Graphogen http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRAPHOGEN-...3#ht_720wt_814 expensive but excellent stuff.

Ian.
