    Actually I'm thinking of having it welded. At one time or another the chain must have broken because there is a broken off mounting boss that's used to mount the sprocket cover. The broken piece was still attached to the covers screw so rather the JB welding it closed, I think I'll go the proper route and have someone TIG it up. Well unless I can find someone who will let me borrow theirs for a wee bit.

        In one form or another, yes. She's a challenging one.

              Apparently I'm blind as a bat. Can someone point out the crack to me? I see a screw mark where the oblong nut goes, but is that a crack?

                Bolt poked the hole thru the inside where its more visible...it will leak all the way around the dimple the bolt made. The bolts are side specific due to length...dont mix them up like whoever did this has done.

                    Bummer Dale. Should be easy enough to fix though.

                      If it wasn't for that broken off boss on the sprocket side, i would have just JB welded the damage from the outside.

                        Lower engine case is at the welders.

                        Dealing with more broken crap. See my post in the engine section asking for pictures.

                        On the positive side my temp paint booth is nearly finished.

                          Drill, center punch, sharp punch, countersink, robertson and straight drive tips and about a hours worth of work.



                          The case paint is glossy so the Eastwood engine paint might even be a closer match than I had originally suspected.







                          Upper engine case is all sanded ready to be put in the laundry tub for the third time.

                              One thing I know for certain, I know I'll be fearful of scratching it when it's finally finished.
