Ok... any mechanics out there? Here's the deal... this is an aluminum short block for a lawnmower... but I'm guessing that should not matter to people who like to work on motors. I found the crack and I want to fix it. The problem is ... I have never done this sort of thing before and I am not intimidated to learn and try. After all, I rebuilt the transmission on this thing and it works like a champ. People told me fixing a transmission is too difficult for a noob but I proved them wrong. Another reason for wanting to learn how to fix this thing is if I'm on the road with my bike to Alaska and get stuck in BFE I would like to be able to fix a hole or a crack so I can limp into town or keep going if the fix is good enough. Here are the photos of the beast. I'm looking for the right solution - so all you grease monkeys out there... here's your chance to shine and show what you know: JB Weld, Steelstick. tig welding, Alutight, brazing, ??? Your advice and instructions will be very much appreciated.
