I'm glade to see your back it's been awhile? I finished My case inducted motor and have very good luck with it, no problems all summer. If you will take a suggestion I would not weld on the crankshaft it will only cause the sane destruction you experiences last time. Your problem was not caused buy torque it was cause because you welded on the crank. The needle bearing can not take that kind of heat they are too small. So if you want th e motor to stay together don't weld the crank. these motors don't have 25 hp.
