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 Grin

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