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??'
