I feel stupid bringing this up, but as tricky as some are on here and after 20 years, I figured...what the heck. Has anyone come up with a successful solution (welding or whatever) to fix a broken keyway on the short nose?
After the problem being out there for 20 years I thought ........maybe someone...uuh..probably not.... but ask anyway. I've been on the big board and saw a couple of threads talking about it, but no long term reply
like "Oh I fixed it with super glue and I have 60k on it with no problems."
I know the main fix is go buy a good used engine. Well I went down this path...sort of... did a swap + $$ deal.... and after looking at the motor (I regret not getting a "good one") I think pulling the crank out and putting it in the exisiting motor would be a better avenue. But welding a fix on the one in the car would be a lot easier. My McGuyver friend can weld and fab with the best... but if it is a bad fix why get him to try.
If I have to do a bunch of "crank trading and motor pulling" I may be looking for some "one or ones" who would like some FREE sessions on track at MSR for helping get the thing running right.
