Re: Replacement Gas Motor Options
Depending on where the hole in the block is you might try to patch.
When I was racing go carts using briggs motor, I threw the oil slinger thru the block right out the side and put a 3" hole in it. I patched it with JB Weld. Through cleaning in and out and have to JB Weld both sides. After patching took the engine to the shop and had it worked and moved to the outlaw class and ran the motor for 2 seasons that way.
By the way I used a piece of aluminum to cover the hole on the outside using thin piece I formed to the hole and block. Just butter the edges thick and place on the block let it come out using a putty knife smooth out. let it dry then put a couple of coats inside and out and make sure to smooth out. Easy fix for under 10.00 and save hundreds.
Hey it may not work in your case, Just my 2 cents sometimes I just like to be cheap and try different options.
