TimJ Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Can this be fixed or do I need another case? Tim http://www.flickr.com/photos/59243189@N05/5426612672/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 How deep is it? About the depth of the little pin on the outer bearing race I would assume. It could probably be filled in with some epoxy, or weld it up then smooth it back out to the radius of the bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other wise you run the risk of making the bearing surface out of round. It isnt like the crank directly runs on the engine cases. All it does is suport the bearing race.

All it does is suport the bearing race. x3 welding does all kinds of strange things to aluminum, especially cast. if you are real paranoid, fill it with jb weld or similar and shape to suit.

sheerider1026 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 i would be afraid that filling it with epoxy or jb weld would cause more damage.. just think about the vibration this area see's. let a piece of jb weld or epoxy break loose and bounce around in the motor.. not good.. leave it alone..
