Title: Can this case be fixed??
Post by: Lon on October 24, 2015, 06:12:09 PM

Well im super bad at explaining things so made this video so if you guys can,please check it out and let me know if the case is fixable..Its the clutch side and im 99.9% sure this is why she was sucking crank case oil  :-(  ...

One more question please??
How do I install the new bearings and seals as I haven't had to mess with installing seals inside a crank case..Pretty much scared of heating the case and trashing my seals..

But heres the video..Thanks in adv guys  :-)  ..

I know jcm3 had to get new cases when TMR did his motor as his were like yours. He still checks in now and again you may want to PM him. I know he did have to wait a bit to get them

Trust in Motorrad!!! He knows what's best. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper and faster

If you really wanted to get fancy. You could fix it how I fixed my Norton case..... But t that was a pain in the ass....

If you need to to explain better what I meant above... Just ask.

You are saying to peen the case surface, use bearing retaining compound on the bearing and re-install? Am I correct? I am taking an engine apart and may have the same issue. Thanks

Green Loctite. Downside is the bearing won't be coming back out of the case anytime soon!

Awesome and thanks so much guys  :-)  ..I'll get the loctite retaining compound and im sure the bearing will come back out with heat if I ever need to change it again,Map-Gas works awesome ..

Just make sure you dimple (peen) that bearing surface good...   And press the bearing in with both case and bearing same temp nice and square. (Use a good press).    The loctite doesn't like the heat freeze method.......  Don't forget the crank seal ;0)

Your first video question is here:

Another way to fix your engine case is you can have it industrial plated as shown in this build

Should have been more specific as green is what we use at work on our pumps and other mechanicals exposed to oil and grease.
