The cases look good in my opinion for being sand cast. The alignment with the clutch cover is good. I do not have any alignment dowels in place yet. I am going to take more detailed pics today or this weekend. If there are no assembly issues (and I have no reason to think otherwise) then i believe that the cases are a smokin deal at 599 with all the bearings and the seals. Mr Eddie uses the 8 ball CR crank bearings.
The sand casting is rough but can still be polished out. It will just take extra time. I am pretty sure I will be polishing
everything and adding some white highlight somewhere. I was going to have him leave the bearings and seals out for powder coating but his source fell through at that time. He went ahead and put them in, but in hindsight i should have told him not too. I will now have to protect everything from the dust that will be produced during the sanding and polishing process.
I will most likely buy the ignition cover from him also.
