Re: Hole in engine block...repair or scrap?
Thanks for the update.
That motor is probably toast. Hole in block, broken rod (big end), most likely trashed crank bearing surface and much more. I would replace with a new or used one. Ask around here if someone has something. Still not as bad (much cheaper) than my buddies BBC race motor...I kept these souvenirs! 50034353291__97A59848-F3D5-4B3F-84EA-C7F930B0D615.jpg |

Re: Hole in engine block...repair or scrap?
Its all most allways the clutch side rod on a ez go welding those is hard because they use the block as part of the mount,if it warps any it binds the crank.as far as jb weld i have patched about 50 go cart motors with a screw over patch and jb and never had on fail they run on alky or gas with no issues

Re: Hole in engine block...repair or scrap?
As above all depends on what you want to do and your budget.
On a budget and you are inclined to do the work, Buff the crank and mic it. If it is still round and in spec run it. Just make sure any high sharp bits are gone. If the piston is good. Rod, gasket kit, and package of jb weld running again. I would also through in a set of rings and grind the valves. Usually need a valve or 2 as well. They run really crappy cheap valves and they badly wear into the head. |

Re: Hole in engine block...repair or scrap?
Thanks for all the input fellas. I am just using the workhorse around the yard and neighborhood so Predator should fit the bill. I ordered a comet and pulley from VC and plan to fab the engine cradle and any needed brackets(that's half the fun for me!) Planning on tearing the stock motor apart over the winter for fun and see what it looks like just for fun. I'm sure I'll have more questions but may have to move over to the clone swap section.

Re: Hole in engine block...repair or scrap?
Did you buy the predator yet?
A cheaper option is the powerland on eBay I have used 6 of them so far all worked great except the one we over revved continually And that one they still warentied for me I think I usually buy them from 160-180$ |

Re: Hole in engine block...repair or scrap?
Good point. I parted out my G14 engine for $900 and the harley at $350 so far with many of the bigger parts not yet sold. All on Ebay.
