Get it heliocoiled. Got to a engine builder a machine shop or even your dealer if you have too.

i would take it to a machine shop and see what they have to say. if u want to fix it right your gonna have to split the cases and replace that one.

[K_Fulk]

Cases arent cheap and it costs even more to get the motor completly torn apart and put back together.

your gonna need the crankcase where the drain plug is. id say its gonna run u around $250.
