Send them an email and ask them about shipping costs. I'm not close, I live 400 miles away, otherwise I would stop by personally.

thanks!!!
I have send them 2 emails and they don't answer.
right know my only option is the lower engine found on eBay, that engine seems to have the cable clutch in the right side like my engine.

Look at the engine
Over the bearing crankshaft is the problem.
I tried to buy the lower engine but is impossible to ship it to me. So i need to fix my cranckcase .

heat the crankcases with a propane torch and drive out all the beairngs first as well as remove the oil pump.
after that, take a picture from the inside too.
in orfer for the weld bead not to stick out, you or a machinist need to make a V groove into the material.
and like i said before, ask the welder to slowly heat the whole case so it doesnt distort, dont let him start welding without doing it.
