    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is my gs550 motor toast?

Advice please. I was cleaning the motor of my project 550 this evening and I noticed the engine case immediately in front of the engine sprocket was gaping. No evidence of oil leaks great or small, no evidence of any impact of anything on anything. Immediately under the gaping case joint is what I believe is a drain hole from the starter motor well. Is it a dry void in the crankcase?D203F915-857B-4BDA-B55B-FAC161220FE8.jpg
 
What's all that silly puddy crap behind the sprocket? Guessing here but it looks like epoxy that someone slathered on after the chain was thrown and tore up the case. Might be time to looking for a new engine.
 
Please don?t confuse my gratitude for sarcasm.... none was intended
 
I can't see jack on the pictures.

Can you take a better resolution one, upload it to imgur or some other picture hoster and link it here?

If this is a phone, also maybe give the camera a quick wipe with a clean rag before taking pictures.
