[QUOTE="Makaw, post: 511829, member: 25180"] I started working on my lower unit this week. I drilled out the end of the crack to prevent it from spreading further and then notched a channel along the crack, both inside and out. It’s a little scary having a hole in the lower and being able to see daylight through the crack, but this should allow the filler to get a good bond and seal. Going to seal the sides first, annd allow it to set while bolted together with the bottom portion of the housing. Then I’ll probably have to address the bottom sealing surface.
