Cranks can live well into 8,000 hrs….

Why don't we have larger Rotax engines?....because not every design scales up easily.....and the market may not be there. ;)

From my untrained eye....that does not look like corrosion. It appears to be a manufacturing defect....called occlusions or porosity formed when pouring the billet. I've not looked at enough of these to know if this is normal or allowable. It could very well be common and not an issue. A prop...

At least it doesn't have seals....that are unobtainium. ;)

my belly looks fine....and I wash with 100LL regularly. ;)

How many engines did GAMI run to 1000 hrs?

we certainly have more to learn......it's not all clear just yet.

If you want a nice plane....pay the money and buy it. You will not save money buy doing it yourself. Even as an A&P I/A....I won't make much doing it myself.

They do....and likely knew the results before any of this happened. :cool:

scotchbrite the spot till it cleans up....then hit it with zinc chromate. That's very common in some areas of the US....especially Florida. Note the pulled rivets....that should be a clue.

I got a call from the previous owner of my Cherokee Six.....he wanted to buy it back for what he sold it to me. I just laughed. ;)

so maybe she identifies as a man....and this whole thing is mute....or moot? ;)

Just post the N number....we can do the work for you. :p

which is why there are probably more boats than planes..... ;)

Yup....I didn't travel for that one either. It was a total south of here....in South Carolina.
