Noel,
The heat transfer paste is used in the 912 as per the manual and Lockwoods Rotax school. I don't know about its use in the two strokes as I have not attended class on them yet but will shortly. Lowell has a compelling argument about mfg.'s recommendations on using other products in their engines. I think there is a lot of validity there, however, I don't think Rotax would have much to gain thru the sale of spark plug paste. I for one will continue using the heat transfer silicon they specified in my 912 course but then again I also use Rotax oil filters.
After seeing first hand some of the results of using "unapproved" products on these engines (i.e.: destroyed engines) during my course, I have elected to use what they say to use. The price is cheap enough for me considering how much this engine costs ! (although the oil filters are getting mighty sporty ! )

Dick:
I’m just getting back to work on the installation of a 912 in my ‘Fox. Like yourself I’d rather err on the side of the manufacturers recommendations. To be honest I haven’t gone through the 912 manuals yet… although I do have them printed out.
