Finally got the rider mower done & out of the way, so I tore into the '44 2N this morning (the one that dropped #1 sleeve). I have the oil pump out and on the bench and can see scratches (one might possibly be a hairline crack) and small nicks on the pick up tube. None seem to go all the way thru, but it's really hard to tell. Now I need more from the experience here. Is there any way to pressure check the tube? Do I solder everything I see & hope to fix it? Would JWeld be better? Brazing???? I need to order a new pan gasket so I have some time to try & get it right.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
