Good Excuse

There is a metal disc that is on the crank that keeps the oil inside the case. I would start looking there to figure out the problem.

Just in case anybody was wondering, I finally have a plan. Over the next week or two I am going to keep my eyes out for a rolling shell I can't live without (i.e. one with suicide doors and a chopped top). If there are no deals to be had I will spend the money on rebuilding the engine - myself. If I stumble upon something I can't live without, or something that is unique enough to not be available any other time, I plan to buy the project and go with a cheap, easy fix on the baja (new seal, nothing else). Since I work 12 hour days all week, on Friday I'm sending my dad up to the guy's shop I mentioned earlier to take as many pictures as he can. That will give me a better idea as to whether or not he has something worth buying. Now for the engine report.

If I go the route of rebuilding the engine I have decided on a few of the parts I need. I plan on using the 78mm crank and either 90.5 or 92mm p/c's. Also, a lightened and balanced flywheel is in the plan. New heads with big fat valves are coming too. A new cam, rockers, and pushrods, complete it.....I think (am I forgetting anything?). What kind of setup would be OK to use with stock fan/colling tin? Also, at what point do the dual weber's stop being enough to feed this thing? Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

Remember as you collect your parts. It all must work together as a COMBO. Start with the case, it is the foundation. Chose your displacment and have the case machined and inspected. Then research the best combo. of heads(valve size etc.), C.R., exhaust, carbs, cam, etc. that will work together to make the bast engine for your application.
