Hopefully the photos are able to be seen!
I have a leak from what was probably an earlier botch, I know the motor has been built previously by a Harley dealer in its early life so others have been here.
I have removed this casing to cut it down and coat it which has now been done.
On starting the bike up there is now an oil leak from where pictured, looks like a resin repair?
I have stripped the casing to see if I can get a decent repair and I now notice there is a score to one of the bushes, this may have been there in the first place or maybe not.
I must confess the bike was quiet originally and I never inspected the bushes as it was running fine when taken apart.
Where do I go now? Do I look for another casing, if so will I have to match my cams to new bushes or could I use the bushes which might come in another casing?
Do I try to get this one repaired? If so do I geta new bushes.
Really bangin my head on the wall over this one

I'd weld it and remachine the surfaces. Probably need to ream the bushes.

I feel a visit to an Engineering Workshop coming on fast!
Thanks for the reply Pash, as ever good advice.
I take it you think it's repairable then?

By the way I bought this the other day, EBay item: 121291276882

Not sure whether it is good above or not but I would do all I can to save it.

Maybe lumiweld would be better as it would cause less distortion...

So am I right in thinking its possible to fit any cover with bushes straight onto my cams and motor? Or do I have to get the cams matched to the bushes?

I think Maz once said that he found bushes wore out quicker when new covers were fitted.

If you look in the manual, the cases and covers are line bored, and it looks like (from memory) they are done independently, rather than as a matched set, so they are matched to the boring jig.

In the factory, how is it done? Well, I would be surprised if they were a matched pair...

I don't really know the answer to your question, but if it were me, I would probably fit and forget...

Gonna take it to an engineering firm in the next couple of days as like you say it's better the devil you know.
I just hope they can do something with it
Thanks for your input
