Crankcase for a C90-8F

[tnowak]

A Vagabond owning friend of mine has unfortunately discovered that his C90-8F crankcase is cracked....
It is the central internal web that has cracked and I believe this is a fairly common issue.

Now, can anyone recommend any companies that are certified to do crankcase welding (if it is repairable) or if anyone knows of a replacement C90-8F crankcase for sale?
Thanks

Divco or Crankcase Services is who I use.

I had that exact problem, $600 from Divco.
They have a thru- bolt STC that would be worth doing at the same time.

Not good news for my friend...
Divco say a double crack isn't repairable. Both sides of the middle web are cracked on one half of the crankcase.

Anyone know of a likely contacts/source for replacement engine?

How about just a replacement crank case?

[tnowak]

That was always the plan, except getting hold of one in UK was a challenge.
However he has now found one which is off for NDT checking now.
Anyone familiar with the mod for the C90 crankcase which, I believe, replaces some crankcase studs for through bolts?

I believe it is more like the O-200 case which is less prone to cracking the center web.
