I didn't see anything in search, but I know of a whopping one person who has an NP242 and a SYE. He used an RE Hack-n-Tap on it but I don't know if any other mods were done.
The reason I'm asking is that I was sent http://www.polytropia.com/cherokee/sye.html for review by a guy who wants to do and SYE on his XJ w/242. It looks like a lot of unneeded work, mainly so the author could remove the mainshaft and have a machineshop cut and tap for him. Am I right, or did I miss something?
So the question is, are there any other options for an SYE on a 242, or is this it? If the whole assembly were to be ripped open like that are there any upgrades available in terms of heavier chain (similar to the 231D) or a heavier-duty mainshaft? The whole thing could have been done without cracking the case...couldn't it?
