Bike casing welding?

[gtr boy]

well the story so far
triumph t595 engine rebuild
putting motor back into frame and what do you know we cracked the bottom engine casing while doing up mounts
anybody know a skilled ali welder so we can try this option first before i shell out for a new casing
all options will be gratefully taken onboard
cheers

renegade master; problem with the covers, is all the oil thats soaked into the metal!



yup, alloys nasty stuff to work with dirty like this...

[gtr boy]

we were lucky.casting is clean,as were doing up last bolt when she went.so no oil on the broken cast
lucky in some way .........
scott,i changed the oil after my accident and what do you know rattle rattle
got george around(fkn top bloke)and we discovered small end bearing gone
so 2k later and some parts from england here we are at this stage.
very frustrating to say the least
will try morgan eng today

mate, i guess thats what you get for owning a triumph! Go jap not Crap!

Still these things happen, hope you get your bike back on the road soon.

Exactly the same thing happened on a mate's 995. And we followed the workshop manual to a T. Right torques and everything.

[gtr boy]

hans we were doing the same thing.
this time were finger tightning the mount bolts and then see where the gaps are in frame
they call for 80nm for tight ,maybe not go that hard out this time either
oh well got a quote to fix 600 bucks
needs a day of welding and pissing around on it
if it happens again there will be a 955 daytona selling for parts

Where did yours crack? At the lower rear of the botom part?
