Blue crankshaft, yowzers

[Syfon]

I recently did bearings as well as replaced a flywheel. Crank was definitely green on the counterweights but not especially colorful where the flywheel bolts on.

My crank looks exactly the same.

No heat-discolouration where the flywheel goes on.

When I did my rod bearings, the oil pump gear was a similar shade of blue.

Thank you both for posting these. This makes me feel a lot better! I didn't think there was anything wrong, per say, but it is a pretty brilliant blue on the crank. I'll get better pics.

Cheers!
