Ok, I am starting to build me an engine for my mini bike. Im gong with a 5 hp and was just going to get a little advice while building this. I intend to keep you updated with pics throughout my build. So to get it started...
Apparently whoever had this engine first removed the govenor without upgrading any internal componets and it blew up. It caused a huge crack in the side of the block which can be seen in the third to last pic. Its a shame too cause I really like this block. It has the roller bearing crank shaft in it. Speaking of crank shaft you can see in the pic it seems to be marked up pretty bad from the old rod. Can this be polished or should I just buy a new one? And can I have someone who does aluminum welding fix this block? Somone suggested JB Weld but I would much rather do this right. Thanks
