[QUOTE="TexasLoneStar56, post: 369777, member: 14624"] In restoring an old 1955 Merc, I've discovered a crack in the lower gear housing. :x It's cast aluminum. I know it can be tig welded, and that can get rather pricey. I'd also have to remove all the parts on the inside to have it professionally tig welded. What's the opinion of JB Weld? Will it do the job? The crack is about 1.5" long, vertical. The crack itself is tiny, maybe 1/16", or less. Thanks for your replies. I need all the help I can get, and I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
