that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I've had to do this repair a few times for customers, if you can't get 9lbs of torque on the sump plate you're SOL and need a new case. You can't replace or tap the sump bolt, you've broken the boss inside the case.
In one job I took a good running engine, stripped it and swapped into a good case. The engine should have had a new cam, but the guy only had $1K so I didn't go looking for trouble. I didn't like to do this, but it has been running for 10 years last time I talked to him. But he got lucky, this could have easily gone badly for him...50/50 at best. |
