RE: How to clean engine internals.
you dont use wd-40 as a after run oil its used as a cleaner. wd-40 will not hurt for a few days it will take quite a while for the wd-40 to hurt the bearings. if wd 40 hurt bearings right off my engine would have been done long ago. ive used wd-40 for the past 2 years and no problems. yea if wd 40 is left on the bearing it will ruin the seals bot it has to be on there for a while . as far as the silicon in the crankshaft i have no idea about that but if you dont have a full race motor it will not have the silicone in the intake port.
