i just cracked my cranck case by the mounts all the way through to the bearing i have a new one coming in, but in the mean time i did a jb weld job on it and now it works better than before, has anyone ever had this problem before i only had it 2 days and all it took was one flip.:\
 
Hey JB Weld does work miracles. It's not a great permanent fix in some cases....but in others it makes a great perm fix! Just ugly as sin ;-) Don't knock the JB Weld! hehe
 
Hey JB weld has been used in racing since its conception. Weld on!

You can always sand excess off and make it look right again.
