You could weld it up and it would not be a problem,but aluminum is much harder to weld :(

wew... i wish that was my main problem on my bike right now!!!! in the front of my case there was a little hole and it spit all the oil out and it went dry and snapped the crank and punched a hole threw the back of the case into my starter and pretty much my engine is totaled and i have no clue on what i'm going to do

Yeah, you can have it welded. But, I recommend taking it to a welding company or somebody that you really trust to weld it. Cuz if it gets too hot, it could distort the case a little bit, and that wouldnt be good...that could lead to more engine problems.

good luck finding a welding shop that will weld that without having it all apart.

To weld aluminum you need the whole peice to be hot, If you heat just the area that your welding you are heating it to fast and it is going to be a junk weld.

I say run it till it breaks off then fix it.

were taking the whole motor out really soon and having it welded ... were taking the head and everything off the motor...
