3M 1.40

[s.vannostrand at kodak.com]

I disassembled the first 170 I got and it was clean inside.  I had the 
same concern, but there was no problem.  I would think the 170 and 140 
follow the same manufacturing process.  There's a description on the 
aeroslave website.  Took me a while to reassemble it though.  Parts fit is 
very tight tolerance.

Jon, I just saw it in person for the first time last weekend and it is a 
thing of beauty. The owner dissasembled it when it was new and said that 
he found a lot of metal shavings in his. Perhaps it just missed a step in 
the manufacturing process, or was a rare exception, but you might want to 
be careful turning it over new. I don't necessarily recommend taking apart 
a new engine (I would probably ruin it forever), but if you feel confident 
doing that it might be worth your trouble. Caveat, I am just passing on 
what I heard that you might get some benefit from. So, if something in 
there feels not-quite-right, check it out.
