I pulled both P-Mags from my engine recently to do an upgrade. I noticed the left gear had a fair amount of corrosion on it. The right gear is clean. The engine is approx 18 months old and not yet run. I would assume it was not rusted when it went in.

Just wondering if this is normal? I looked up in the accessories housing and everything still looks well lubricated (in fact the gears on the ignitions were too) and no other signs of corrosion. I recently had the rocker covers off and certainly no issues in there either.
I'm planning to clean it off with a light scotchbrite / emery paper before reinstallation
Thanks
