Re: Need recommendation for shop to weld cracked block...
I will post a pic when I get home from work tonight.
This goes under the "pay me now or pay me later" file. I bought the boat 5 years ago cheap because, shortly after a rebuild, an "incident" resulted in the crack. I don't have exact details on what happened. The engine ran great, and still does. Compression is good. But I now have a solid knock coming from somewhere inside the powerhead. So now it's time to get the crack repaired and hopefully find out the source of the knock. And I'll get to learn how to build a 2-stroke. I'll start a new thread when I get into the tear-down.
I sure hope I can save the block. Pics to follow...
