Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Just wanted to know if there is any other option of getting debris cleaned out of the crank case besides splitting them. Thanks

I would split them and replace the bearings and seals, if stuff got into the case down there its gonna hurt those bearings .

An old trick that several two stroke mechanics do is, pour two stroke mix ( gas and oil ) into to crankcase, rotate the crankshaft to dsitribute the mix for cleaning , then two guys hold the bike upside down to drain, repeat until clean.
I have met several guys who do this, I have done it with success, sometimes gaskets and seals are not available and this is a better option than waiting for parts. Obviuosly splitting the case is deemed the better method.

I would agr ee with you, that seals are hard to find for the spree at times, depends on what got into there. Clean dirt out, split if metal shards got in there. Thats too big of a risk just 1 shard can destryo a topend.

Thanks for the input. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for this idea, I just rinsed mine twice to get the old gas and 4 stroke (!) oil out of it.
