[Fot] magnetized crankshaft

[DAVE HOGYE]

Thanks for the replies.  The crank will be thoroughly checked and demagnetized before use.  It is a curious discovery.

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.
