Taking apart a new mill?

[SMaxxin]

Do any of you disassemble a new mill to clean it out and check for metal shavings? I was doing some reading and someone said they do it every new mill they get.

 

[ZANDOR]

I tear all new mills down...Too clean, inspect,Lube& Seal...

What lubrication do you use? After Run Oil? Is there a substitute for this?

 

[jon2]

lubrication, ARO will do fine. On the bearing it is recommended to use a thin oil like ARO. Some tear the whole engine down whereas some will tear it down where the carb , backplate are off to seal them for possible air leaks.

if you reseal with silicone make sure you use a good silicone.. i like rtv ultra black jmo

Smaxxin, yes, I tear my new mills down as well to do just as Zandor indicated.

 

[SMaxxin]

Thanks guys, looks like I'll take a look at the inside of the 3.3 when it gets here.

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Ah, did you get a new Revo 3.3 or just the mill? You dirty bastard!

 

[vbgagnon]

Your going to love that 3.3, it puts the 2.5r to shame!

Dirty bastard? You can't see it but I'm blushing :idea:

I got the Revo 3.3, should have it tomorrow!

Thats great to hear, I'm not as patient as Jon2, I'm going to start that puppy up as soon as I install the foc and go through the mill.

Who said I was patient? I got the spool diff, P3 Rockers and pushrods, 23mm Crazy Nut Racing adapters. 23mm Wabash rims. Deciding on tires. Once I get the Pushrods I will see about getting the lunsford TB replacements....

Heck I am looking at the springs and the anodized shock bodies too. ...

You have had it for more than a day and you haven't started it yet...IMO thats patient LOL. Nice list of extras you have there, but why the p3 rockers?

Well, good for you, Maxxin! I've heard nothing but great things about that rig! If Jon2 hasn't started it, yes, he is patient (among other things). I'd of had that thing broken in by now!

And yeah, Jon2, why the P3's? You planning on doing your own version of "Monster Jam"?
