A piece of shattered thrust washer entered the crankcase breather hole on my 41EL, so case needs crack repair as well as an area about the size of a dime added. Also would require the breather valve bore sleeved (eyeballing gouges in the bore, they look to be as much as .030 - .040 deep in the worst area.
Also one of the forward motor mount bolt holes is cracked across the hole..... and timing hole has been oversized, so would like to put a stock plug back in it.
I see no previous welds on either case halves, so not cleaning up somebody else’s mess.
Sorry to hear Tom Shaw of Creekside passed as true craftsmen are getting so difficult to find.
Visited a couple of local weld shops in my area (south of Seattle), but not confident with responses recieved so would appreciate any help.
Thanks, Erik...
