Warren, tell me more about the $100 Dow Corning RTV. I thought the Loctite stuff was spendy enough at nearly $20! I'm so old-fashioned. But then, I'll do whatever it takes to build a dry engine. JW showed me some stuff in a copper can that he sprays onto gaskets to ensure against leaks. He also ran a few surfaces over the table/belt sander, so they are straight. I am hoping for a leak-free engine.

So, magnesium can be powder coated. Someone had said it cannot. The ends of the fan blades may need filing, but I am not sure any other coating will stand up on the fan. I need to talk to the other two PC places here in town.

You guys already know that a PC system can be purchased for perhaps less than $100, and an old oven might be $10. Hmmmmm.
