I would like to know what coolant you are useing and how old your engines are. I have one of the first MOTO's and I am just reassembling it now and don't see any pitting. Was still running factory coolant and I was planning to use ENGINE ICE by Cycle Logic, if anybody has had a problem with this please let me know.
Hey!
Give this some thought. The corrosion is due to the glycol based anti-freeze.
So... What if we change the type coolant in use to DEXCOOL III by General Motors? That coolant is oil based and actually extends the life of hoses and water pumps.
Expensive, but top of the line product...
What do you all think about that one?

Valve cover pitting
This problem was posted months ago by me and smitty.The problem occured when cannondale switched to magnesium valve cover the first covers were regular aluminum they were fine the newest ones are powdercoated black to prevent this.

I am sorry I cant remember what color the first valve covers were possibly they were plain aluminum?Those would be good.The tan ones are bad.Black is the newest should be good.The waterpump can be removed without taking out the motor if cover is bad then you will have to remove motor to replace valvecover.
