Early 2.0 Liter Aluminum Crankcase Repair Rescue

An early 2.0 liter Aluminum Crankcase. This particular case experienced a con-rod failure, fortunately Ollie's was able to expertly repair it. The case was line-bored, all oil plugs removed, case cleaned, new plugs installed and media tumbled. These photo galleries tell part of the repair story, a lot of work went into resurrecting this now very rare piece. Special thanks to Mark Spraker, responsible for all the 'cosmetic repairs' to the exterior of this crankcase.

Incidentally, this case sat at a race shop for decades, essentially a door-stop. Did I also fail to mention Mint Minter was the driver responsible for the crankcase damage? LOL
