Need help with gs1000

[Guest]

So I'm cleaning the engine for my next build and I see this hole directly under the motor mount. I call a machine shop and hey want $50 to patch it. Is there anything immediately behind this or issues that anyone can see? The engine is a 1980 Gs1000 appears no issues otherwise

I don't know if Photobucket is having problems or what but it won't come through

That's the front motor mount under stator cover, is there anything directly behind that hole? With the way this is going I need another beer

Clean it well, spread some JB Weld on it, select a shorter bolt that won't hit it, call it a day.

Unfortunately someone used too long of a bolt and punched thru the engine casing. Oil is behind there, so yes a bad thing if it goes all the way thru. Lots of guys have done just what Steve suggested and had it work fine for years.
