So do you guys think that just blasting this out and if it isn't too bad or all the way through that I could just run it as is. This will be no show piece and see little use. I am concerned that if I were to fill it with something that there is a possibility of it coming loose and damaging the engine. I am installing a new top end and new bearings and seals and would hate to ruin anything right off the bat. I suppose replacing all together may be the best bet. That said if any of you fellers have case halves for a 61 that is for the two piece ignition I would be interested to make you an offer.
Im under the belief that powder helps seal the motor
Mag is porous it absorbs oil so it can leak air
I pressure tested alot of powdered saw they hold 8 lbs for well over a hr
Worn painted ones not as long
Start with a good foundation !

Glyptal paint would be my suggestion. It is what is used internally in powertrain and engine component castings. It is a great impervious sealer that also has dielectric properties. Like Glock37 said it's got to be clean. You wouldn't have to worry about running clearance issues as you would with JB weld. McMaster-Carr or Eastwood stocks it. Hope this helps you out. TG
I’m interested in your take on this, man. Are you saying mag cases that are corroded with no powder coat could be a potential air leak? I’d think any leak of a gas (air) would be nominal and easily tuned out. Mag is porous, but any idea on the porosity size (ie, liquid oil vs. molecules of gas)?Im under the belief that powder helps seal the motor
