Good Type 4 cases and crank bearings are still a bear to get. <br>

I'm really sorry it has come to this. I also realize even T-3 engine parts<br>
can be iffy. Yet that might be a better option to get a new case and bring<br>
up the piston size of the T-3 engine. I've never done it yet many have. It<br>
all depends on what you can spend.<br>
