I had the exhaust off while working on my bike at a park, & I soaked some paper in 2 stroke oil & put it in the exhaust port to keep dust out. It seemed like a clever, easy way to protect my motor, but my friend warned me it would be harmful if oil got on the side of/went beneath the piston, b/c it would get into some part of the wristpin that's supposed to be a dry Teflon bearing that can be degraded by oil - if I'm remembering accurately what he said.
At the time, I couldn't get him to explain it on a way that quite made sense to me, but now I'm thinking basically the concern is oil getting into the wrist pin from the side of the piston, like under or around piston rings where it normally couldn't
Is this something I'd better watch out for &/or do I need to do anything now to protect my engine from damage?
