Hi,
We took apart a used 1600 motor that had been sitting for years and found degradation in the bottom of the case around the oil filter screen. There appears to be no problem with any mating surface or bearing surface. Our guess is moisture and magnesium don't like each other. It visually looks rough and chewed up on the interior bottom
Should we continue with line bore and rebuild or throw away and look for another case to rebuild?
If we should throw away...why?
thanks marshall
