Unless someone knows of a machine shop in my area that could fill and skim one of the damaged barrel/cylinder seats on the crank case... ?
previous owner managed to put screw driver dents in one of the seats :?
if i can't get a crank case then maybe a new engine and sell off the parts on my engine.....not my first option ,due to my engine had just been re-built 1641 by the previous owner
Sorry fella .. Just seen your reply to my plea for help ... I do have a crank case in transit somewhere .. Lol .. But deffo keep you in mind if it turns out to be a ford escort crank case ...lol
