Ron;
Rotax offers a fabulous class which runs two days and travels around the world.
You'll completely disassemble and reassemble a 912 engine.  They cover the 914
too.  It's well worth the $400 I paid.  You can find out where/when from any
Rotax distributor.

Best to you,
Paul Boulet, N914PB, Malibu, CA

Doing a bit of thinking about firewall foward. Leaning towards the 914.

I hear tales of the wastegate getting stuck. I have a few questions on this 
matter:

Is TCP still avialable?

Would TCP help or hinder the wastegate staying clean if using 100LL?

I heard that if you regularily clean the wastegate without removing it with 
brake
cleaner it will keep it free as long as you
do it often and don't wait for it to stick?

Is there any other product to help keepwastegate free that anyone is using?

Is it possable to disassemble a 2 to 300 hour turbo without breaking off the 
studs?
What is secret to disassembe without
breaking studs?

I plan on using MoGas when staying local, but when you wander away from home it
can be hard to find.
