So I blew a (or the, I dunno 
) crank bearing on my df50tka and i hate working on the bottom end of any engine so im gonna just buy me a crate motor. Ive done alot of searching and my best option seems to be the 100cc long case from scrappys. Only thing is they say its for drum brakes and mine is disk in the rear. Ive herd people tell me to make sure to get the right one but that didnt make alot of sence to me because my disk brake is on the oppisite side of the wheel than the engine. I made the assumption its because if it had drum brakes they would be located in the case itself, and after watching some videos online that seems to hold up...
Thing is on those vids and you see the case with the back tire off, it all looks pretty much the same except the brake shoes. I am going on memory here from when i replaced the back tire a few months back, but to me it looks the same but i remember a bunch of spacers in there instead.
The serches ive tried mostly bring up drum to disk conversion kits which entail the disk brake (obviously) a new rear wheel (understandably, sence the shoes make contact with the actual wheel (from what I can tell) and i dont think my wheel has that space in it to fit around the shoes) spacers, and some people claim i need to do "case modification" (whatever that means)
I am thinking that the factory of this scoot just took a regular drum brake motor, deleted the shoes, and added the parts to make it disk, like the conversion would. Sence i have those parts it should work for me.
Am I wrong? Does anyone know if this engine will work for me? Or if not if not is there a way to make it work? Or should i look for something else?
Any insight at all helps. You guys rock!
