Hi guys
Would you use a ali case with a crack that's been repaired by welding to the area around the full flow oil return for a hi power engine ?
Cheers

I've used a Mag case which had to be repaired after the machinist got a bit carried away with the mill with no problems, JB weld should sort it out

As long as it can withstand the oil pressure you will be fine using it.
