Greetings,
There is a Rotax 582 blue head engine for sale here at our airport. The owner is asking $3000 but make him an offer if you are interested. If you have any questions let me know off list and I will ask the mechanic when I see him. What brother told me about it is it was driven hard by a rich farmer in Chihuahua for the first 50 hours causing the crankshaft to brake. The broken crankshaft made a hole in the crankcase. The farmer replaced the engine with a new one and this one was given to the mechanic for services rendered. The engine was torn down, inspected, the crankshaft was replaced, new rings installed then was flown on a Rans for 15 hours. The Rans was never registered so the engine had to be removed.
Here is the e-mail I received
Rotax 582 has 65 hours since new.
At 50 hours the crankshaft broke through the bottom of the crankcase.
A new crankshaft and rings were installed and the hole on the crankcase was welded close. After the repairs It was installed on a Rans and flown for 15 hours without a problem.
If you are interested please contact Eduardo Contredas at titanicaco(at)hotmail.com (titanicaco(at)hotmail.com) . You can view pictures of the engine at
