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)

Has anyone tried T-9? Yes. Seems to be good stuff. I used it on my fan shroud and so far it has stayed a nice factory gray look so far (about 2 years indoors). I also treated my transmission case above with it a week before daubing on the Tectyl. I think the Tectyl will provide significantly more protection, but the T-9 is invisible and doesn't leave a waxy coating if you want to avoid it. |

I can't believe I never thought about using it. Works great on my table saw and jointer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
