Hi everyone,
I bought a 181 as a project, but upon closer inspection it looks more like a pile of parts as the crank has a crack in it..
The question I have is regarding the cylinder, a pressure and vac test showed the intake part of the cylinder leaking. Turns out that the underside of the intake has a crack in it. It still feels solid but it is leaking.
Could I fix this with some JB weld?
Would be a shame to scrap it, it’s a nice single ring KS.
