Thanks Doug.

Awesome. :cheers:

Can a non-sealed engine be brought in for inspection (not re-sealing, obviously) under this program? Or is the program solely intended to ensure an engine that’s already sealed wouldn’t be subject to DQ due to a manufacturing variance?

I can certainly inspect the cylinder and if it is non-compliant, you would get the new cylinder. I could not seal it without a full inspection.

Thanks Doug. [EDIT: Totally failed joke deleted.]

Done! Went to Shockwave, Doug did his inspection on both of my engines. It took no more then a half hour.( NO CHARGE 😆 ) Have the double Seals and ready to Roll……
Shockwave is a class act, And the best part is they are in our own back Yard !!!

Thanks Again Doug and Greg for your time .

Another day, another up date. The only things I really need off the engine are the ignition coil, carb and radiator. Its easier to leave the carb with the kart than it is to leave it on the engine. Just remove the inlet fuel hose and lay the carb off to the side. The ignition system is two bolts and one disconnect on the back side of the engine. The radiator is two clamps and one bolt.

After a bit of arm twisting by the dealers, Rotax is waiving all fees for applying the dual seal. So both programs are a complete no cost to the racer. The only thing you have to lose is the time necessary to pull the motor and a can of carb cleaner so that we can crack it open.

There is no down side to racer.

Would this apply to a 2007 DD2 engine? :loco

I’m not sure if the dual seal program applies to DD2 (I think it does), but the cylinder exchange program definitely does. It’s quite unlikely that a DD2 cylinder would be out of spec, but the program does apply.
