Possibly with some JB weld it could be repaired but i would be inclined to buy a new case.

You may be able to fix it using epoxies like the above poster said, but the fixes might not last very long because the heat may have an effect on it. You probably will also encounter air leaks down the road.

I tried to use Gorilla Glue when the mounting ear broke off my STS .30 and it lasted for a little while. The vibration of the motor will eventually loosen it in time tho.

Its time to buy a new ngine, that crank block is shot.

If you can, you might be able to find a bare block from NovaRosi or on-line. But once you do that, you might as well rplace the whol thing since there you mighjt have to also relace the piston and sleeeve. (The piston & sleeve are disposabl anyways, those are always replaced in a rebuild. Or, if you plase, you could transplat thm into the new block and replace them when they finally wear out.)
