Title: Engine cases
Post by: fj12_rider on August 06, 2015, 08:20:00 AM
So i`ve smashed the top engine case on my CV trying to get that bolt out of the mount (you know the one i`m sure). I have another engine here , can I mix and match the engine casings on the FJ I know on some bikes you can`t because they are linebored but dont know about the FJ , I`ve done it with smaller bikes but a lil advice would be great . The other engine has a damaged bottom case from a mate that came off , this one has a damaged top one from me being an Idjit ..lol . If I can combine the 2 that would be a great help . This isnt off the CV in the pic BTW thats sold . I ride a XW now the CV i have is my second bike and is a project.


Ta in advance for any help .

I don't think you can mix case parts, they are match machined. However, Randy can provide an expert's comment on this as he builds these engines.
