JB Weld in the forward sump pickup location-
New crank seal and some more JB Weld in the previous mechanic's holes drilled to tap out the original bearing race. All you need is an oven at 250 for 15 minutes and they drop right out, so why drill the cases?
CanukNortonNut said:Why are there extra holes drilled at the top of oil pickup hole on the timing side crankcase? :shock: I can see you putting JB weld at the forward hole but you have basically made a straw with a hole in it, which will only suck oil into the oil pump when the level reaches the top most hole. You did the cut away mod on the other crankcase side for the bottom hole to get access to the original oil pickup. We had a good tech talk with dynodave at the rally and his mod addresses the problems with the INOA tech digest mod by drilling a hole on the drive side crankcase at the oil pickup hole location (same size as on the timing side) and then using very small drill with a number of bored holes calculated for the same area to allow oil to seep in but leave any big bits from getting picked up and jamming the oil pump.

Factory Q.C.?

Funny, the drillings were Windy's idea in the first place...
