Hello 914World engine builders (and everyone else) -
A local guy is selling a Type IV case only. It looks like it has been sitting around for quite a while. After looking it over I found a cracked corner where something was used to pry open the split line. Asking the experienced engine builders out there: 1. Is this case usable? 2. Can the crack be repaired? 3. Is it worthwhile getting repaired if it can be repaired? 4. If repairable, recommendation on shops? 5. If usable, in this condition what's a fair price? Of course, this thread is worthless without pictures. Thank you! |

I threw away a case in similar condition.
You can fix it but it will be more expensive than getting a good case. A core engine is about $400-$500, including everything. Just a standard case in bad condition is worthless. Looking at the journals, they might need to be oversized as well. |
