Warn out case? (type 4 motor)

What are the chances of saving a type 4 (2L) case if there is ~1-2mm radial movement of the crank?
Are the journals likely to be flogged out, or will a new set of bearings fix it?
Also, does anyone align bore type 4 cases and do a good job? $?? and are oversize bearings available?
Thanks,
Andy

generally type 4's don't get flogged out cases like the type 1. You can read here for more info

I'd probably to to find a better case if you find it is the case that is worn. I would pull it down to see where the play is

you can get them line bored, however oversize mains are difficult and expensive to get. Better off looking for a good std case

If you need one, I have a mint fuel injected 2 ltr case, with new main bearings and a mint std std crank, $400.00 the lot.

Thanks all for the info. I have accumulated a few type 4 motors of late, so I'm wondering where to start!!
There will be more questiones to come as I get into them!!
Thanks for the offer on the case Dave, just I prefer to have the mechanical fuel pump (I have dual carbs).

Dont know of any shops line boring T4 cases. The other thing will be can you get oversze back bearings

check before you go tooo far...

they are very scarce even in stock sizes.

you may be better off with Daves offerText
