    Place your bets....or a Magic Trick!

    Well kids, I'm gonna try to bring this sad sad triz engine case back to life. I really need a lefthand engine case for my sad sad POS Z, so I made a deal with the devil and got this boat anchor from sykolincoln.

    Yeah, I probably paid to much, gave him $30 for shipping and his time. Otherwise it was free. heh. lol

    So lemme here your thoughts, suggestions, snod remarks or what else have you as I photo-document my attempt and the impossible.

    Here's the before shots. Keep in mind I'm only after the left hand engine case. lol

    If you're as persistant at wet sanding as you are when trying to climb a hill, I'd say it won't be any trouble at all!

    I think if you just soak all the internals (fill crankcase and tranny) in WD40 thow a topend on it and your ready to ride.

    Thats is a easy one.. the motor in my 86 looked just like that!!! First find some one with a parts washer tub, like in a auto shop and fill a tub full of it and let it soak completely under the fluid for a week! then have at it! then take everything COMPLETLY apart and glass bead blasted it.. paint,seal's,bearings..assemble! trick is to soak it under parts washer fluid..
