Mag inspection on J models?

Usually, points, coils, for sure. Bearings and gears if needed. Internals cleaned and lubed. 

At 250hrs on turbo applications I can notice Slick mags start falling off with their performance. 

I like the Bendix I have on my E.

However, I  have not had too many issues with slicks that are properly overhauled. New out of the box Slicks?....many problems. Maybe close to 50% out of the box failures. With properly overhauled probably close to 99% realibility. This is out of 75-100 mag changes...

Thanks, Matt.

now CMI takes slicks for cores so it's much easier. If they are close to timed out its actually cheaper to retrofit Bendix mags. New Slicks are 800/900$ each and if you have them "500 HR serviced" they won't go another 500hr anyways.

Yes they will.

My Slicks have 1800hrs, they were serviced at 500hrs, then not again until I had them done at 1600hrs. And it cost about $200 for both mags. They were new in 96.
