i'd like to call you remotely close but only coz the other two arses were prattling on! LOL!!!!
i spent 10 minutes rigging it up. thats a corner flag which i kept after i scored all five tries in our glorious victory against the wallabies in the the 1903 tour. its fragmented due to hitting the corner flag as i scored the winning try in the 131st minute (of injury time).
oh and its sitting on the crank. trust you could tell by the blind(ing) photography!!!!

eric, i'm glad i know you personally because on this occasion that makes it funnier but i'm not really here to poke fun. you did make me chuckle though!
as i said, forget that it's blue and think of the only two liquids you'd allow in your crank.
one begins with 'O' and the other i guess you'd start with a 'D'.
once the penny drops you're gonna cuss me!!!
you nearly had it for a minute....and then the minute went!
all the best

Taff,
There are bubbles in the liquid in the photos, so I reckon you are probably blowing air through oil galleries in the crank or rod? I haven ever sen a stripped down Berg engine or crank, so its just a guess cos I dont know if there are oil galleries in there.
liquid would prolly be diesel, as you say only diesel or oil, but maybe kerosine - the stuff you buy over here is blue like in the photos, prolly to stop folks drinking it mistaken for water? but I wouldn necissarily want kerro on my crank other than to wash parts.

ok eric needs to know!
i wanted to wash out the gallery inside the crank but what a quandry!!!! if i flush into the crank i will be dislodging muck forwards and further in.
as i have said before when i saw 'cranksnapper's' two snapped cranks: the oil goes through a hole no more than say 0.4mm in the big end pin. get some muck dislodged forwards and jammed in there and you're in real trouble!
gary grover and i discussed this and he felt that a blocked oil gallery was the reason for many failures.
so how do i flush the crank outwards without splitting the crank? the degreaser needs to come from the big end through the crank and out?
so using the spray gun principle i rigged up this lil lot. it worked a treat with the very can that had supplied the 'gunk' collecting the very fine mist that came out the flag. i had to put a dentist's pick in that tiny hole in the crank to keep the suction through the crank otherwise it does work. that nipple on the end of the flag is a ducati pantah clutch lever rubber cover. the crank is sat in a 400 linar. i used a pipe smoker's cleaning brush down the gallery first. and then did this so that everything travelled OUTWARDS.
anyway - just testin y'all!
