I've talked with a couple of professional welders and they say it can be welded. I just need to bring the engine to them. But I have some mobile services that are supposed to call me back. One told me that JB Weld will work as he's seen it used on air-cooled motorcycles (I've got a motorcycle fanatic I'm in contact with to help verify this possibility). He told me what to do. He also said that it may be possible to peen the crack closed since the metal is more malleable than steel. So I've got some options. Like I told Toby B., the adventure continues...
