David-
Thanks for the answers.
Next set of questions:
(1) As stated before, I'd like to use the main bearings and crankshaft
from the chain engine in the gear drive case. Is there a need to ensure
alignment of those bearings when they are installed in the case before I
install the crankshaft?
(2) Should line boring be considered?
(3) Neither one of the 2 oil pumps are acceptable. Where can I find a
replacement?
(4) Is the later design oil pump (with helical gears) a preferred
design?
One more note, I see a difference in the ribbing on the exterior of the
2 engine cases. Pictures will be sent to DrDaveLoopframe site soon.
thanks
stephen
