 |
|
Kitfoxers, Started and ran my 582 grey head engine. It ran fine. A Trike pilot who considers himself an expert on 582's tells me to pull the rotary valve and install newer type seals or it will difinetly fail. What's the general consenses on this topic? The engine has 100 hours and was stored about 2 years before I cranked it up.

If he means the new rotary valve seal that's a big negative. The
problem got solved when everyone switched to the "silicate free"
coolant. I've got 400 hours on original rotary seals with no problem.
