Damaged Eccentric Shaft?? Pics...
I have had my engine apart for a few months and it looks like my eccentric shaft is starting to get oxidation on it. Will this damage the shaft? Also should I remove it before assembly & how to remove it/keep it off?

take some wd-40 and spray down the lobes and rub with a rag very good and it should stop most of that and most of it should come off and then keep a light mist of wd-40 on it every now and then to keep it from coming back

you are sooo screwed!! Buy new ones!! JUST KIDDING!!
Yes you should clean them off. A good machine shop should be able to polish it.
93BlackFD had his shaft polished( haha!! ) by a good shop. turned out sweet!! He posted before and after shots. Looked amazing. Try PM'ing him and asking, or maybe he will see this

Thanks for the info guys. I will probably take it to a shop and have it polished. At least pull it out of the garage for now.
I didn't mic the shaft yet, I am pretty sure its with in spec though. My Mana motor only lasted 12k. That link is broken, do you have another?
