Hi everyone,
I just finished pulling apart my engine (720 rotax) and was surprised to see that there was no gasket/sealant or anything between the 2 crankcase castings. The only thing i found to fill any possible air gaps was oil! Is there supposed to be some kind of gasket there?
If there is supposed to be a gasket i am even more surprised-the engine was still running well and it's in excellent condition on the inside (no marks on the cylinders, crankshaft not out of spec, etc-i pulled it apart to do a piston change, replace the crankshaft seals and generally do some preventative maintenance. The reason for this is i have a factory pipe on my ski and didn't want to wait till the engine blew up.
Has anyone had a similar experience with the no gasket thingy?
Thanks.
