Iwish I could do it without splitting the case but I was going to use the crank as a mandrel to machine the prop adapter. I decided to do it that way after failing so miserably with one on an Echo 50cc short block a few weeks ago. Also, so much crap has fallen into the case from me monkeying around (the whole thing is caked with sawdust and chain oil) I need to give it and the bearings a good cleaning. I figure it will be easier to machine the halves in my mill too.

And then there's the fact that it now needs a new center gasket, thanks to yours truly
