I built CVT type transmissions in industrial applications 25 years ago before they ever went to cars. I have built standard ATX forever. Haven't done CVT car yet but I understand the service manuals and part layouts on them and how they work and easy. What math on CVT?, the ratios are considered variable and give no numbers. And you consider TWO sprockets not just one as well as any entry ratios in getting power to the chain or belt. Many use planetaries now. To begin with CVT sucks on a bike, it saps too much power and reliability is nil.
You need no math on the 3/8" bolt if grade 8, it will withstand far more than the case itself will. Minimum tensile strength 150,000 psi.
I'm sorry you can't find a simple Q size drill bit. My bad for giving you something too hard to do. If you drop down one more size then a 21/64 and easy to find. The bore hole drops from .332" down to .328", the tap will be a bit harder to get started but no problem. It took seconds to look at a drill chart to come up with that, another one of the skills missing here along with getting the idea in head to begin with.
'Anyhow does aluninum pour stick like lead? Its possible to seat studs with with lead n tin too.'
Mixing facts up in your head again if those two sentences back to back were meant to work together. If referring to low temp aluminum solder then it has no real strength like needed there. And tinned lead will absolutely NOT stick to aluminum at all.
'...can the transmission be cycled easy with no clutch n crank...'
Yes, it can, I've done it a thousand times. You have to be able to grasp how the synchros work.
'...pully with chain doubled or tripled..'
Begging for more trouble, if loaded hard multiple chain runs to spread load out are the worst thing you can do. The big flaw in the original CB750 SOHC transmission and why they detuned them every year more and more to slow them down. Too many breakages the warranty had to cover. Before you say Harley used them I say Harleys don't make enough power to break them.
