"pot luck" with it being stamped with any kinda identifying number.. never heard and/or found out why some got 'em and some didn't.. rumor has it if a run of "complete motors" was known it got tha serial number that matched clamp.. if a run of powerheads only that would be matched to a clamp later didn't... who knows its merc……………………………………………..

Most times " race " motors stamped by timing arm with ser number where case halves meet. Fishing motors on the frost plug.

Marine Machine in Gonzales adds a longer stud there to get beyond the crack. Once cracked he recommends welding inside and outside.
Bottoming out the stud makes sense as a culprit. I've pulled plenty powerheads on weird angles and never broke a fishing motor there over the yearsCheaters never Win !!!

HEY Tommy how you doing mister Happy Thanksgiving and yes i closed it down after Barbara died in September i just lost all the wind in my already leaking sails, i was so tired of dealing with people who did not need to own a boat!!! building only motors and no service work eliminated a lot of exposure to that group it was still very difficult to deal with those who thought a brand new whole motor was worth about 2500.00 installed broke in and full of gas with a 10 year warranty i had already slowed way down in early 2018 bout January

10 year warranty was a figure of speech used as a example of just how stupid some people are when you rebuild there blown motor usually due to auto oiler failure (who's fault is that) and you give it back to them with ALL THERE ORIGINAL PARTS INSTALLED ON THE REBUILD there parts become under your warranty ???NOT ive had several battles like that people calling me up cussing me out calling everything under the sun so yeah its time
