I couldn't find can for mine few years back when I looked... The rivets broke and the gear came loose. I was able to secure the gear back to the cam shaft with #10 bolts and lock nuts. Held up fine until I swapped the motor. Looked like the rod broke prior to me owning the motor there was a hole on top of the case that was JB welded over. And the oil slinger was
Missing. The motor was apart when I got it. Found a slinger on eBay reassembled and it ran fine for 8 months or so until I did my clone motor swap. You will find a lot of websites with the parts listed but very few will actually have them in stock. Wish I would of just went with the clone from the start...

work done by me was new standard piston & rings, new con rod, new cam gear ,bore looked ok to me also crank had no nasty marks or scouring on it.
have any of you guys had this problem? would piston rings make the same kind of noise ? thinking that I might have to re bore the barrel, any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks

I was told the valves on these
Motors arnt adjustable/shimmable?
