I may need to talk to you about the engine case swap. If i can first test the engine to see if I did any other damage for the several miles I ran it before noticing. I only noticed because the engine started to make a horrible whirring noise and acted like it was about to seize. Probably not good. It may not be worth the effort to split the cases, but maybe I'm just lazy. ;') As for JB weld repairs, I think it could be done, but not if I ever want to drain the oil again. The part of the case where the drain plug punched in is not quite straight, and the remaining broken bits aren't in one piece as I had hoped: http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu6/guymanbro/CT%20VT%20Half%20Mass%20Dirt%20TOR/P1060821.jpg There are 3 pieces that have some of the drain plug threads, and it seems there are a few missing pieces as well. Putting it back together in a manner in which the threads line up and are usable will be impossible. Tapping a new drain hole may be possible, but I certainly don't have the equipment to machine a flat sealing surface for the drain plug washer. The engine has 26K miles which isn't supposed to be a lot for a KLR, but when 22K are miles that I put on, that makes it like dog years, and you have to multiply by 7. da Vermonster And, yes, the bike had a skid plate on when the damage occurred. It was removed to better investigate the damage. . .

Ya, I know lazy. Anyway, I also have what I *think* is a good complete bottom end if your damage goes beyond the case. Oh, and I'm planning on dropping a low-mileage engine into my "expedition bike", so the 60K one that's currently in it would become available. I'm planning on doing that in March, but I could move it up to Christmas break. Mark At 5:21 PM +0000 8/27/12, dat brooklyn bum wrote: I may need to talk to you about the engine case swap.

Hi Bogdan, Here's another voice from the list's early days. I don't check in that often anymore but still riding the same '91 now with about 150k miles and a fresh engine rebuild to keep me going another 10-12 years. Still doing the Baja rides 2-3 times a year. Hope you're doing well. Kurt

All the pieces are there and they all work, but it is not a garage queen. I am only selling because I recently added another bike to the stable and don't have room to keep it. > > Kevin > 612-801-7302 > > -- > Kevin Powers > Woodbury, MN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
