I like that install tool, Hoser made me one that is very similar in fact, they work really well indeed.If I may ask can you take a picture of the cases where the studs thread into? I ask due to mine are not welded on the bottom, meaning you can actually see the studs themselves, which I can't see being the correct way to modify the cases for the top end. Thanks in advance!
I'll get some pics over to you tonight Mud. I didn't remember seeing any welding done where the studs thread into the cases. Are the studs expose to be welded to the cases? The only welding done on the clutch side case is above the area where the crank comes out of the case. I assume that was done to reinforce the case where excess shaving was done to match the porting to the 500 jug.
Thanks, I would love to see the mod on your cases to compare. Whats the psi on compression cold on that
Engine please. I wish to use to compare to my readings as I have not a clue for my Engine.
Attached are pics of the case from clutch side Mud. Doesn't appear the stud mounts were reinforced but the port side of the case was. Can't understand why you have a chunk of the case missing where the stud goes. Haven't finished Engine yet so can't give you numbers on compression.
I also attached a pic of the starter housing being grinded down for cylinder intake clearance.
Don't know if this has been a problem for other's building a low end pilot Engine but I had a hell of a time getting the counter balance shaft end to align with the supporting bearing on clutch side crank case. I had to freeze the bearing housing and torch the tip of the counter shaft so it go in somewhat smoothly. Smashed my finger with a mallet during this pain in the ass process...
