Engine Damage

[Bod]

Hi all I am looking at an engine for my bike as a spare. I have seen one however it has damage to the sproket casing.....

[Ian (GPX)]

If thats an Ali case, you can get it fixed at a metal factors, they will be able to repair that.

[Bod]

So I could get it repaired and be used as a spare engine, cool.

I've seen something similar on an older model R1. Guy repaired the whole section round that area.

Good as new once it was fixed. Think his front sprocket snapped off in mid-go!

Certainly doesn't look like anything load-bearing or functionally critical has gone. You could probably even glue a cover on using epoxy metal, although a metal fabricator could TIG weld something much nicer looking on there. Done properly, it could be made to look a bit flash and 'custom' for extra pose value.

Often happens when a chain lets go so is a common repair

[Bod]

Did the same to my hornet engine, took the water pump mount clean off the crankcase, mate of my dads drilled into the crankcase, put a bolt in and re attached the waterpump, has been fine since summer touch wood.

Hi

Looks like it has torn off the mounts for the clutch slave cylinder. Might not be an easy repair.

All the best

Hiya, the engine is off a rsv mille, does that make a difference KS?

[Sparks!]

[Bod]

hahah yams :S nothing wrong with my engine now, buying that as a spare to learn how to adjust valves and cam chains etc

[Kickstart]

[Bod]

Right, I would be stripping it down anyway to learn what makes it tick so that wouldnt be a problem.
Thanks

He is looking at 150 for it at the moment.

Hi

No idea on RSV engine prices (suspect they are not that expensive as the frames are so easily written off), but that sounds fairly cheap.

All the best
