    I just finished a resto on my 1981 430 XC and managed to crack the clutch cover and left case half on the fist ride. Don't know why yet. Anyone have a good complete engine, bottom end or parts?

    If you want to discuss why the cracking this seems the place. It would appear your post should go in the classified section. To respond would encourage like postings. Those clutch covers probably are scarce as most bikes seemed to need a few over their lifespan.

    Thanks for the good advise. I was told the inner case halves are aluminum. Is that correct? There is a small crack started on the top of the inner half, by the kicker. I can TIG weld it if it is actually aluminum. Welding on old magnesium is not something I am fond of so I ordered the HVA clutch cover based on good reviews. How much pre-load do I install on the kick lever? The case was replaced before I got it and it seemed to have a bunch of pre-load.

    There's a good youtube video of Huskydoggg showing the proper indexing of the kicker but I can't find it. Maybe someone else could post it?

    Centre cases are magnesium, but can be welded in most cases, not sure about yours.
    I have saved the video to my pc, but don't think I can upload it here.
