Sorry I can't answer your welding question with authority, though I
can't think of any reason why it couldn't be welded.  Are you wanting it
done in-place?  I guess it might be tough to get the MIG torch up in
there at the right angle.

Anyway, I noticed in your pics that you have tin covering the bottom of
the engine (where the pushrod tubes are, etc).  I don't have any of that
on mine, wondering if that's a big deal or not....
