85 250xc

Hi all. My bike over heated and I lost compression. Pulled the left case and its rotted around water pump. The gearbox oil had a lot of water in it. Will need a rebuild and case fixed or replaced I think. Any body have any advice or a direction to go? I am located in Minnesota. 1985 250 XC. Thanks!

HVA sells a new case for these
top end, flush the water out, case from HVA, back riding in weeks

Thanks

Keep an eye on ebay, I see them on occasion. Your looking for a late model cover with the extra mounting bolt above / behhind the kickstart shaft. The 85 and some 86 water cooled bikes the covers were made of Magnesium which wrots out behind the water pump. The later models are made of aluminum. Here's one that would get you going anyway.
