So it turns out my donor engine is a piece of crap but I think I can use the piece of the "block" that I need. I should have just torn it all the way down in the first place......
Anyway, I'm going to now try and use the crankshaft and bearings from my engine (which ran fine before this project) and see if I can make something good out of all this bad. I have a question though. The 2 bearings on the clutch side...should those be on the crankshaft prior to assembling the 2 "halves" or should they be in the housing and then installed on the crank?
Thoughts and comments??

So you all must be out Christmas shopping or something.....
I was able to swap all of my good stuff over to the "donor" engine. It is all back together. I put my clutch on because I didnt trust the comet clutch on the donor. I haven't dropped it in yet because I want to check the driven clutch and it looks so much easier with the engine out. The dust cover is long gone. A couple of times this past summer I had a condition where the cart would not turn over and it appeared the clutch was "locked". If I pushed the cart and jumped in and then accelerated it would take off and not do it again for a period of time. Is this a driven clutch or drive clutch issue? How do you remove a driven clutch? It's $200 bucks for a new driven clutch so if there is something I can do or check out, I'd like to do that. Thanks Guys.
