Hi all,
I debated if I should bump one of the 2+ year old dishwasher threads, but decided to start new as my question is pretty specific, and it isn't answered in the aforementioned threads.
I'm rebuilding the top end of a 361, and this and that eventually led to me deciding to use the dishwasher to thoroughly degrease all my plastics and painted parts, but not before I'd installed new oil seals, and removed the cylinder. The saw is currently disassembled down to the crankcase with only the crank sticking out of it.
Assuming I seal the crankcase interior from the dishwater elements, and that I use powdered dishwasher detergent, should I be concerned the detergent will ruin or degrade my new crankshaft oil seals? Same question regarding my cylinder if it's laying in the dishwasher loose.
Thanks.
