Default Crack in case
I am looking for dependable engine repair companies. I discovered a 3/4" crack in the case by the #2 cylinder. From the cylinder into the case and it needs to be repaired. Any suggestions? Thanks. 504-669-5100

I've sent several cases to him, all the work has been top-notch and reasonably priced.

You might want to check the shops and salvage yards to see if they have a serviceable case.

A friend is having his O-320 case inspected, repaired, and converted from conical to dynafocal and the cost will be less than a $1000.

Just completed a full rebuild of a 360-A1A narrow deck engine. I would recommend Divco. They repaired a major crack at the central bearing journal at a reasonable price.
