Crankshaft Bearing Wear and Corundum Abrasive
This is the surface of a worn crankshaft bearing as a
result of using corundum abrasive paper
to clean the valves in this engine. The corundum also does damage to the cylinders
but if finally
causes failure in the bearings. A corundum abrasive particle can still be seen stuck
in one end
of one of the groves carved by that particle.
