hey guys just picked up a motor that was used and is in pieces. it was torn down due to metal shavings in the filter. the shavings arent copper though. anyways, i picked it all up yesterday and everything looks great actually.. everything is checking out fine except a couple bearings that are close to being toast but there all getting replaced anyways.. but this case wasnt on the engine when he tore it down and its the one he gave me with it. it came out of a bike that the crank bearings went. anyways do you guys think its usuable?? heres some pics.. sorry there not the best from a iphone.. i think the case will be fine its fairly smooth all the holes and scrapes go down and dont stick up.. but let me know what your opinion is.. thanks

yes that is completely usable still, just smooth it out so nothing is sticking up for the crank to hit. i did a 250f a little bit ago that looked even worse and its still going strong, something broke and when down there and the crank chewed it up

Haha that's funny becuase I actually do have messed up toes... I hammer toes... Permantaly curled is the easy way to say it
