Thanx for the helpful words and yes I did think about JB Alum Weld, but my problem is more of it being a jig saw puzzle as compared to a crack
Putting all this together is not only a structual matter but also one of alignment etc.
Here is what happened, in my haste to make a run stand at the shop I took (2) 5/8" pieces of square steel tube and drilled and tapped mounting holes for the engine. I then bolted the engine to the tubes and screwed them down to a wood block thinking I had enough clearance between the block and the bottom of the engine, I didn't, consequently after a few runs I noticed the front bearing carrier was loose and when I went to tighten the screws I realized the top ones were loose but not the bottom two. Further inspection revealed the interference between the wooden block and the bottom of the engine case had caused the case to break out. Voilla my problem !!!
Incidentally prior to this fiasco I did manage to get it to run pretty decent.
Anybody got parts for this engine ENYA 80-4C
Thanx,
Bob Blasi
