repair for PG case
« on: April 23, 2015, 02:37:57 PM »
Have a local guy who had a case bored for roller bearing for output . Seems who ever did id either let it move or did not indicate it correctly. Shaft is off center,easy to see whnn tial housing is on and its short shaft.Has to be more than I measured .015 off center or .030 more towards top.

He want me to bore it out,insert sleeve,weld and bore to fit bearing. I would rather just weld it up and remachine.Either way there is very little material left to work with. Told him I would check and see what few others thought would be best repair.Ok best would be new case.

Is it an after market or stock case? Not sure I would spend time trying to save a stock. Now the cost of a after market would lead me to give it a try. I would rebore it to center press in a solid slug and bore for a bearing. I would avoid welding for fear of case warping.

Can't you just buy that rear support with a roller bearing in it and bolt it on? I am learning about Glides

Dave rear support has bearing but case normally has bushing thats can be replaced with bearing also. Might go the soile piece and bore to fit.Guess I could actually get it bored in ball park on lathe leaving .150 to bore once it.

  Was worried about warpping with thinness of case.Yes its stock case. If had another case sitting here I would just do prep on it and bore right from get go.

Trying to weld a di-cast case thats been soaking in oil is going to be a mess, Given that this is not 3am in the morning before the big race and nothing is available, quit dicking around and get another case

Already set new caseup for him last night. Did all of the extras to make it pro tree brake,cut bell off and bored for bearing. pretty sure he got his $100 worth. Hey hes young and trying so no problem helping him out some. I knew correct thing just had to let him see others saying same thing. Sorry I kind of used you guys.Chalk it up for educating the young.
