Need Massive Help, Case failure Options

[Mblizzard]

Ok so some of you may know I am doing the build of my life.

Put the case together for checking fit all went fine everything turned great. Disassembled and found this break in the case at the cam.



I have a massive amount of money in this case and it is opened for my 102s.

Anyone think of if and where I can get this repaired quickly?

Slow down. Desperation and trying to do anything quickly at this point will only lead to more problems.

Anything can be fixed with enough time and money.

Question is do you have enough of both?

Old joke is you can have only two of the three.
Quick job
Affordable job
Quality job

If you want affordable repair and a quality repair it won't be quick.
Want a quick repair and don't want to spend money, it won't be quality work.

(In no way am I referring to Ben - he will do quality and will do affordable to help a member I'm sure. But the machine work isn't quick)

Think long and hard about trying to save this case. At a minimum you will need to line bore the cam. After welding the cam I'd closely remeasure the crank bores for deformation. Highly likely you would want to line bore the crank too in addition to the need to line bore the cam.

Line boring cases is not for the faint of heart. I know it is commonly done but honestly it is hard to do it right and maintain proper dimensional relationship between crank and cam bores. Even at the factory they dealt with this by select fitting cam gears to take up any dimensional variation between crank centerline and cam centerline.

Are you ready to consider rechecking the cylinder openings too after welding?

After all that - a new case looks better and better.

I am so sorry that you're in this situation. I can feel the pain and anguish, and I've been there before too!
