...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. |

"We need pictures" is right. A lot of strong opinions here about something no one's seen yet. Might be easily weldable, might not, we can't know.
