Hey I have a very small crack in my
Right crankcase where the tach gear enters. It seems the person who owned it befor me figured chroming the gases would be a great idea. The chrome shrunk the hole for that gear to fit and seems to have cracked the case right where the gasket seats. The crack is at the top of the case and is very hairline just wondering what the chances are of oil leaking at this location, not sure what kind of pressure would be in that spot And bike is in pieces so I can't try and test it. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this or has any solutions befor I put lots of time into restoring this case
Thanks
