...a broken upper case! This is the first time I've had time to drop the engine and do some major work on the engine itself. I bought it this winter and was not able to view the engine closely because of all of the debris on it. It was not running at the time. It looks like the cylinder broke on top, and broker the case on the passenger side on top. I found a rusty connecting rod piece. Major bummer.
Question-is the case repairable? I want to keep the car original with the original engine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

Damn.thats kinda harsh Kevin. most of the threads here are asking the opinions of others. Most of which are valued opinions. Not listening to advice of the people who know is usually a recipe for disaster. Ask all you want man.
