Cracked 4 bolt DarkSoul case

[Clubin]

Look what happened to my case! I don't have a gallon through it. Ted originally built the engine for me, first the cooling head cracked, now the fan case. Good it comes off, so I can buy a new one. Crappy aluminum grade? Any other reasons. It has been in my MCD, so it realy hasn't been bashed hard. It is cracked about 1/3 of the way around, you can see some grass in the crack.

I would have some one put a few tack weld on there. It will be hiddenfrom sight and be stronger after.

Yes, that is what I am going to do. Must be from the vibrations of the engine. My DS cooling head cracked the same way.

That mystery blue glue that is sliding down in the last pic looks nasty.

I didn't have my DS crankcase long for testing cause my POS baja broke it in a silly little cartwheel.
