I have been to look at a P200 engine today for my 152L2 but one of the stud holes is cracked / missing. Is this a real problem or not?

I do tend to get carried away with tuning, so on a highly strung Malossi 210 engine, would this be more of an issue?

Can it be welded easily? Or would a bodge like chemical metal be ok?

Your help would be much appreciated, as per.........

That looks repairable to me

Get it welded , probably £50/60 but worth it

Hi to check cases:

1) Look for any case split between the selector box gasket face and the clutch cover gasket face.

2) Check the rotary pad seal area, unless you wanna go 210 reed mental?

3) followed by the bearing and seal seats alround

4) Check the "XY" = "XY" opposing numbers on the crank case half mouths to ensure they are matched

5) Look for leaky gasket substitute + s**t and bosted fastening locations.

Fail on any of above = no good for a 210 IMHO

Also definitely check if there's no hairline crack from the primary gear shaft hole to the clutch cover opening. Quite a few casings have a crack there and there's hardly enough metal there to ever repair it...

I've seen them repaired there (the primary shaft hole) , a good ally welder can do it ,just 'v' the crack and weld then dress it back.
