Will this clutch case survive 2 weeks?

Post by twostrokeheros »

Hi, IDK how I did this. Can I make it a couple weeks the way it is? And is this going to cause any weird vacuum or air leak issues?

I have a pic but I can't figure out how to attach it.

Have to use a 3rd party pic hosting site like photobucket or similar or donate enough to the site to get photo hosting. Without the pic hard to say. Is it cracked? Above or below the oil line? Pieces missing? If it's a crack above the oil line it can be temp repaired with little issue since the cover isn't structural, but any further damage to it could be catastrophic. No worries about pressure/vacuum since the crank case is vented to atmosphere, but if its below the oil line you will leak.

I repaired a crack in mine with JB Weld 3 yrs ago. No problem at all since. (Knock wood!)

Clarification, my crack was in the outer cover.

Are we talking the clutch cover or the inner cover? Both carry load and depending on where the crack is will determine if it will last for a few or no chance. Really need to see a pic.
