Found this article while browsing, a bit worrying if you own a sandcast.

According to the sandcast forum the cases were painted,  chain breakage was common but I dont think the scare mongering in that write up is worth listening to too much, plenty of die cast cases have had the dreaded chain damage as well, fortunately my sandcast cases are in perfect condition as well as all the original threads , but to be fair damaged cases no matter how well repaired will affect the value in some way

This bloke increasingly irritates me. On the face of it his articles, YouTube videos and CMM pieces draw attention to the dangers of buying non 'investment grade' bikes whilst subtly promoting his own services.

I have lost count on how many sandcast 750 engines I have built, I know it was 5 last year alone. Most have had not paint on the cases but, I have always found paint in the starter motor housing and paint under the little coloured sticker . This means that the rest of the paint has come off over the years.
The chain never came off, it was the front sprocket that was tooo small and it back lashed / whipped and damaged the case  ;)

I like how he suggests that he has special knowledge but at the same time shows that he doesn’t...for example “many of the original sand-casts had their engines replaced with die cast units under warranty” but clearly has no fucking idea how many otherwise he would tell us....... tit.

Plus he expects us to believe that Honda launched their hugely important breakthrough bike with engine castings that were porous and brittle *like an aero bar”, thus running the risk of ruining their reputation in the massively important usa and around the rest of the world..... just to beat kawasaki to a launch.
