    Think this could be fixed by welding?

    Crack in case - 85-89 style Honda 250R engine - underneath sprocket.



    VERY close up of crack.



    If this was yours would you attempt to fix by welding or just get another engine case?

    Could I actually trust JB Weld on it?! Nothing really 'going on' in that area - just need it to not leak there. As far as I can imagine there is no 'pressure' on that spot - nothing rubbing up against it causing friction or pressure ....

    hmmmmmmmmm

    JB weld sucks. Anyone with a TIG could welder could weld that up and it would good as new... Stick it in a box and send it to me... I will weld it up for you...

    It's either cracked from the torn up gear inside cracking it or me splitting the cases. I only wish I woulda looked closer before I started to split the cases.

    Anyway, it's cracked now and needs to be fixed/replaced - one way or another.

    So this needs to be TIG welded? Regular weld is no good? JB Weld mix won't hold up? Cause I feel like slathering this liquid cooled slut with JB Weld and calling it a day.

    Stupid liquid cooled crap

    believe it or not JB weld holds up pretty well on a clean surface so if it doesnt mean that much to you just JB weld it

    DO NOT Jb weld that...that crap sucks...sometimes you can find cheap deals on cases.....I would do that, but if you know someone you trust enough to TIG it up, then have that done.

    again - regular weld won't work or what? I know crap all about welding. It 'has' to be tig welded? I mean - I don't need it to look all 'clean' and 'pretty' I just need it useable!

    They make alum. wire for MIG welders, but it will not hold as well and it will look like hell.....have someone with a TIG do it, it will look better and you will never have to worry about it again.
