brucey Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Talk to someone like Chris at Meridan off road. He refurbished and rebuilds these engines daily. I have a feeling they can be refurbished. Hope this helps. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai-ty Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah, should be a simple job for a machinist. Turn crank down, sleeve, and finish turn or grind to original size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Send it to Chris at Meriden off road, he rebuilt a bottom end in my early plain bush engine and had him modify crankcase for his oil pump mod which works well and I’ve had no problems.
