believe it or not, the hole in the front of the crankcase just behind the bearing waqs big enough to put a pin into, it was a hole not from a crash. don't know how it got there still got screwed from ebay. I jb welded it and its not leaking yet knock on wood though thanks for everybody who gave me input, I value all of it the engine peaks at 10500 with a 11-8 prop, i then richened it to 9800. thanks again guys gotta love rcu chris
