So I split my case last week to replace the crank after seeing that my connecting rod was broken and saw something I didn’t want to see. After cleaning and inspecting the case halves, I realized there is a small crack in the case where the crank sits as well as some deeper gouges. To buy new case halves would be more than I paid for the Blaster, but to put in the new bottom and top end I just bought would be $300 and that could be wasted if a small piece of the case breaks off and ends up damaging the new crank. Is there anyway to fix the damage or other ideas?
Attaching some pictures that will help show the damage.
