Post by Harry1981 »

Hi

during the maintenance I saw some small hairline cracks in the crankcase.

Where precisely on the crankcase is that?

OK, if I understand correctly (hard to know from a close-up) the cracks are behind the clutch near the edge where the cover gasket mating face is?
So long as there's no oil leaking through from the final drive casing I wouldn't give it a minute's thought.

They just look like normal casting marks to me.
