Connecting Rods needed for try his crank

360 Crank
Before and After Clean Up, have cleaned up some nasty looking cranks.
Vinegar dunks work good to break down the rust, need to be scrubbed up clean afterwards.

Final rise and scrub with distilled water after vinegar dunk, neutralize the vinegar. They will immediately Flash Rust.
So get to them with the WD-40 and scotch brite scuff pads for the final clean.
if storing more than a couple of weeks, coat the crank with some thin motor oil to protect it, and of course stand it on end.

Bolting on a flex plate upside down with 2 crank bolts helps for working with the crank and keeps it from rolling off the table.
Makes a nice foot stand to for storage.
