PO-15 Crank Case

[Buccaneer]

The crank case cylinder flange appears to have been abused in
the past, with some of it chipping away. There’s only about
an 1/8" of the flange left in the problem area, and it’s a tad
low there as well. I hesitate to build the area wider with
JB Weld where it might fall in the crank case,
but was thinking of leveling the low spot with it.
Thoughts?

do you have a welding shop close to you? Easy fix 😎

The inside edge of the flange is really thin as it tapers back,
but I suppose that someone who knows what they’re doing
could weld it. ….. of course, I’d have to take the crank out,
but guessing that should be no big deal.
Thanks!

4 nuts and everything should slide right out 🙂

Got the crankcase welded up today. I don’t
think the guy knew what the hell he was doing,
but looks like it turned out okay.
