Hi Willie, follow this link... http://www.rotax508.central5.com/
The 508 is based allot around the 503 it uses the same fan tower and what Ive heard the same pistons. The engine is taller though due to the overhead valve system.
It is dry sump using the same oil bottle as the 912 It's power is around 42 hp.
