===Cleaning light surface rust off crankshaft===
 
Have a machine shop do it, or:
 
 
#Very fine steel wool or scotchbrite pad, and light oil. Rub around the journals in the direction of rotation, not across.
 
 
OR
 
 
#Cut 600 grip wet or dry sandpaper into strips the width of the crank journals. Wrap it around the journal, and secure it with tape. Then, make a strap from leather, about one-half the width of the sandpaper strips. Use the strap on the paper in a shoeshine motion. Finish off with some light oil on the sandpaper. Do a few strokes first, then clean the paper, because the rust will clog the sandpaper.
