Blown Piston, shaving in lower end, now what?
#1
Had a piston meltdown, just got the jug and new wisco/gasket set from the dealer today. The problem is, I was looking in the bottom half and the some metal shaving along with fine pieces. What's the best way of getting this out. I've sucked water/mud in it before, when this happened I would just sucked it out with a shopvac w/ a straw attached to the end. Then I would put some 2stroke oil in, work the crank for a while and suck that out too. I think this would be the best way to clean it out but if anyone has any better idea's. Let me know.

I had a banshee that blew up big time, pieces of metal all through the bottom end and pipe, used a high powered magnet like the kind you have when you drop your tools deep into a cars engine or something, and a shop vac with one of the "stock" lol, "skinny" attachment thing.... put some oil in it and let it sit for a while, then I got rid of it, faced the facts and realized that I probally would need new crank bearings..

What happens if you flush the engine out and a small piece of metal is lodged somewhere? You get to fix the engine again after that small piece potentially destroys the engine. The only sure-fire way to get the engine clean is to take the engine off the frame and split the case. I took a 400ex engine apart after flushing the thing out good and what did I find? More metal pieces...
By the way, if you want a more durable piston, go with the OE replacement or JE. Good luck.
