Hello All!
After heating up shell for bearing(s) installation, I spotted a "noticeable "crack in shell starting at indent plunger. I followed crack to bottom of shell and it appears that there is the making of a seam or crack? pretty much all the way around shell. Is this normal? Was there a weld seam or was the gearbox a mold? I have read of how poor the quality of the shells were, and that Quaiffe and Andover have improved shells. Is this crack an indication of the beginning of the end? I'd rather buy a new one than have it fail at the wrong time.
Please advise,
Dukester
