"T" engine number. I don't know what shape it is in, as I have not torn it completely down. The engine had 2 rods out, due to the wrong oil cooler seals, and oil in the crankcase. Any welding you try to do, is going to distort the material of the case. And if it is going to an oil passage, it may be cracked on the inside too.
