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)
