 |
|
My engine, a 914 is a 2004 model, and still sits in its new box. I bought it a couple of years ago and am wondering about what advice people would recommend in relation to maintaining its integrity, and maybe modding it at the same time. I wish to get it serviced by my local Rotax dealer, to inspect and protect it. A work colleague who is an ex car mechanic mentioned the crankshaft bearing housings can absorb moisture and corrosion can therefore occur. Not sure if this sort of concern is applicable to my engine, but in essence that is like an engine rebuild. What should I consider doing?
Lastly, if it did need the block being split, is there a metal coating I could have applied, even paint, that would stop that "corroded look" some engines develop as they get older??'
Thanks

Hi Tony,
If you really want it to last forever take it to a local packing company where they can vacuum pack it with silica gel in a weldable plastic foil. It only takes a few minutes and they will only charge you a few $.
No air - no moisture!
Regards
Barry
