[Fot] magnetized crankshaft

[Philip Gott]

It may have fallen over aligned North to South. That is one way to magnetize iron things, although the effective is usually small. More likely not was a faulty magna flux job.  I mention it only to suggest you check for damage/bending when you get it demagnetized which is a good idea.

I was knocking it's damaged flywheel dowel pin out when I noticed the drift stuck to the flange.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  The crank is being sent to a shop for cleaning, crack check and full inspection.  Perhaps the crank had been "magna"fluxed and not properly demagnetized afterward.  I don't think a magnetized crank would be good to use.  It would attract particles.
