Elbow grease, carb cleaner and a couple of scotch brite pads.

I used a similar trick when putting on the timing chain or my 66 Mustang...cool.
Nice and clean...looks ready to get it dirty again. do the bearings require grease or will the gear oil suffice?

No I don't have to grease them.. they get their lubrication from the oil in the premix. I might put some 2 smoke oil on them before I put it together so when I first start it there is already some oil down in there... the other bearings towards the back of the case get lubed by the gearbox oil.

new crank is all fresh thanks to MR. Crankshaft
another crank shot
This is the old rod.. you are not supposed to see any gap there.. this thing is toast.
You can see the bearing was starting to attach to the rod.
I'll be putting this in tonight!

Here is a couple more.. 
I got the crank back into the cases and put the bottom end back together.
Before mounting the engine back into the frame, I fixed my outer clutch basket. It was grooved pretty bad which would catch the clutch plates and never let it fully disengage. For example, it would slightly creep on me in 1st gear with the clutch pulled in and it was also hard to kick over while in gear.
I have to mill off a couple .001" or so to get the basket all smooth again.
This should be good for another season or two. For now, it also saves me $200 (price of a new one)
Here are the pics of the refreshed basket.

I totally slacked on taking pics of putting it back together but it is back together and on Saturday it started up 2nd kick!!!! 
I rode it the piss out of it on Sunday!
- new parts/crank rebuild = $600
- new tools = $50
- hours spent working on it..I lost count
- paying ZERO for labor and rebuilding the whole engine by myself....PRICELESS!!!!!
