3rd try for an engine case.
I started tearing down a 1.7 core engine from a 412 to use the case for my 2270. I discovered why that ol' 412 got retired to the boneyard.
The torque converter rivets were broken when we removed the engine from the car. I guess the engine over-reved when that happened, and caused the rod cap to fail. Both of the rod bolts are intact (surprisingly) but one rod cap nut got ripped off when it hit the case above no.2 exhaust lifter. The section that broke off the rod cap broke cleanly on both sides. The first case I was gonna use had thrust clearance issues, which can be fixed, but for the $ of a couple of good core cases. The second case I was gonna use has a piece of the breather tower knocked off. If I was using a 911 fan, that would be great, but, I already got one of Ol' Joe's DTM's (made in the '90's) that I would rather use. This case has some pretty serious damage done to the no.2 exhaust lifter boss, and minor damage elsewhere in the case. Sooo, Do I fix case number one, or keep searching for better? Yetibone

Ouch, that is ugly. Looks like something from the trophy shelf at Jakes.

UPDATE:
The no.2 rod bearing spun, and burned up, causing the failure of the rod cap. I don't know if this happened before, or after the torque converter/flex plate rivets broke or not. It definately lunched the case.  There's a hole the size of a kindergarten pencil just above the lifter boss, and some webbing crunched off in the other case half.Anybody got a good Type IV case with an open breather tower for sale?
