TORQUEDFORD Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have a couple of questions about a engine build i am doing. There are 4 epoxied holes in the bottom of the case under the crank. Most guys I think just grind around the area on the bottom and add more epoxy. Has anyone tried drilling and tapping the holes from the bottom and Loc-Tite some set screws in there? Those holes look to have plenty of meat to thread, they go all the way to the crank bearing, I was thinking I would only thread them in flush with the bottom of the case.

If you look at a bottom case half, on the outside, in the center where the crank sits, there are 4 epoxied holes from the factory. The holes are about 1/4" or smaller. Over time that can be a potential air leak, sometimes they start to weep a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like somebody has been there before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
