So, I recently came into possession of this little gem yesterday. She needed a little TLC, and I have already begun to give it the attention it needed. As my post in the classifieds looking for a prop washer, it is for this little thing. Anyways, it is a low time engine I was told. I had drilled a 1/16" hole at the front of the crack pictured, ground out and veed out the crack some. I then cleaned with thinners and allowed to dry, followed by the application of JB Weld. I am thinking of wiring this thing open and putting it on either an Akromaster or Ringmaster Jr.? I have also been advised to make a rear mount that utilizes the rear crankcase cover and screws to attach it with. So for your viewing pleasure, here it is. Any comments, help, or suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Nope, sorry, I did not ask about how the damage got there. I would assume that it was not from a bad landing on a soft runway as the engine is very clean. But, that does not mean that it was cleaned up though.

Here is a before picture of the other broken mounting lug.

There's on on Ebay at low price - thus far.

Piston engines have been through the roof since most went off the market.
