got a open hole in bottom engine block..

[malley]

ive bought a cheap yamaha blaster 200 and wonder if i need a new engine block or i can weld it shut.

By the look of the pic it may be a tall order, it looks like someone has already had a hack at welding it.

Here is a post of how my son repaired an even larger hole in both case halfs:

He did this a about 5 years ago and this engine is still running today.
