Good observation on those magnified hairline cracks! If I have to pull the welded one I/m working on apart, I’ll definitely look for that. I’m hoping I don’t have to take that apart, as the current problem has to be driveshaft or shift rod seals up top of the gearcase…or the gearcase top gasket.

I probably won’t get to it for a month or so – he’s in no hurry for the motor and I have other things to do.

I’ll look for those cracks on my parts motor too – but it’s kind of inaccessible right now where it’s stored, so that will likely be awhile before I can get to that also.
