What normally happens when the chain either derails or breaks is that it rolls up on the front sprocket until the diameter is such that it pushes the crankcase out of the way ...... and yours is mild compared to some of the damage I have seen

A good engineering/welding shop will be able to repair that crack unfortunately it means that the motor will need to come out and stripped down to do it properly. Been there done that.

is it possible the caser saver (which does not fit on 750 engines btw) withstands the forces and stalls the engine instead (shredding the gearbox). Also it usually is quite close to the chain so maybe it prevents the chain to roll up between engine case and sprocket. |

I think the real truth is that if your diligent enough to fit a case saver your probly diligent enough not to let your chain/adjustment get so bad that it could fail .Please don't refer me back to the sprocket bolt thread where I admitted to "chucking a chain thru the cases " ...........that must have been someone elses fault   . Its ( the case saver ) like carrying a puncture repair kit.........your guaranteed not to need it as long as its on board .... soon as you leave it at home you get a puncture

Some alloys are porous and take up oil over time. These cant be welded successfully. Found this out when I went to have a crankcase on my motocrosser welded. Metal stitching is the best type of repair for this situation as it is done cold and so there is no shrinkage or contamination issues, but it is a specialist job which probably means it is very expensive. Probably better to get some crank cases. Will probably end up costing the same as having your cracked one welded but the integrity will no longer be suspect. |
