The nut here is red hot, weld inside.
Each time, the weld didn't take very well to the bolt sticking out of
the case so after four attempts of turning it and breaking the weld, we
changed course. A bigger bolt was in order.
Snapped that sucker off too but it sheared the remainder of the bolt off at the case edge.
Okay time to get a new upper crank case. The cost is about the same as drilling it out and putting in a threadsert. New case on the way via ebay. Just another roadblock to getting the engine in the bike.
