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? |

@mblizzard
Mike, I would contact George at European Motorworks in Hawthorne CA. He had over 300 cases there. He has been building Type Iv motors for decades and is reasonable. Could probably get you a case of send all the long block guts to him and have him build it. He did a 2056cc long block for me years ago for $300 assemble including balancing. Motor still pulling 6500rpms on a tracked car. Address: 13224 Prairie Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250 Hours: Closed ⋅ Opens 9AM Monday Phone: (310) 644-8038 Bruce |
