I am trying to finish my notes to accompany the rebuild video (notes will be free) and I am wanting to pick your collective brains for info on corrosion prevention for the mag alloy case. What do you do? The factory coating only lasted a few years and is long gone now. On most peoples cases, it is the oil that keeps it from corroding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

QUOTE(Phoenix-MN @ Mar 10 2010, 10:57 AM)  VHT high-temp clear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Paint is another option 30-40 years out - from my tranny soda blast topic's post: After blasting or cleaning - you may want to try a clear coat HT engine or exhaust paint like those here from VHT (or another paint/coatings mfgr.) to seal in the Magnesium alloy case material. http://www.vhtpaint.com/flameproof.html http://www.vhtpaint.com/engineenamel.html They also have a magnesium metallic if your case is really badly stained into the metal. In all cases - proper surface prep is a must to have adherence, & check each paint to make sure it's made to stick to the specific alloy on which your applying. The other coatings & protectants will work well on a case that's in good condition (under the usual crud), but more damage &/or corrosion may require a paint job. GREAT info guys!
