So, this is the reason I picked up a spare TC.

On the rear housing, by the oil pump pickup, there is a small crack. Not sure if this is a flaw in the casting and was present from day 1, or if it was developed during the acquisition of some of what I call Hanger Rash. I have a feeling it was dropped during shipping and that cracked the case. But regardless of the cause, I’m not sure I am comfortable running it as is.
My options are:
1. Use the new case
2. Use the rear housing half from the new case
3. Find a replacement rear case (have not found a replacement passenger drop version)
4. Get this one welded.
I think I will try option 4, then use 1 or 2 as a fall back option. I doubt option 3 would be easy, and I am more likely to find another complete case than just the rear half.
Thoughts?
