The next photos are of a Rotax liquid cooled 582cc.(65 hp)that was in serious need of new gaskets and seals.The pistons were de-carboned.If not caught in time the crank seals can leak and the engine will lean itself out and a sudden stoppage will occur.Not good from "way up there".Rotax recommends this at 150 hours.This one was over 150 hours. |

This is a Rotax 582 liquid cooled engine from a powered parachute.It had around 160 hours on it and as you can see it desperately needs new gaskets and seals. |

This is one piston from the engine.It shows a build up of carbon.It was de-carboned and a new set of rings were installed as the old ones were stuck real bad. |

The crankcase halves after the first soak.They are soaked twice,later in CLEAN solvent and mating surfaces scrubbed free of any old gasket material. |
