Feb 21, 2022 1.2 Splitting the Crankcase Category: Engine
With the help of my father-in-law and some 2x4s, the Revmaster case was finally split today. There was NO corrosion evident on the crankshaft, cam, lifters, or anything else within the case. This was surprisingly good news; although this engine was always stored indoors it was never properly bagged with desiccant plugs installed. Given the proprietary Revmaster crankshaft and fourth nose bearing, the undesirable single relief case, and the fact that the heads already need replacement for known cracking issues, any rusted parts would have placed this engine beyond economical repair.

SK crankshaft bearings are installed showing very little wear. Interestingly, case sealant was applied to only half of the Revmaster prop hub bearing (the side showing in the picture) and not the other.
