Whuuuuu, thank goodness.
Not entirely though, check the roundness above & below the balancer cavity, got two bulged out places. Be sure to check for flatness & use a heavy coat of sealant going back together.

Todays the day Fred, mail runs kinda late though.

Your right Neil. You can see that from 900 miles away. How's that going to effect anything? How bad is it?

Is that the only cracked place on the right side half ?, what about the left side.
I know only a patch, would be good for just so long & the high dollar pocket folks will say replace them both, but its your money that will have to spend when just a little JB Weld would seal up the crack.
I would be thinking more about, if it has deformed the sealing surface for the gasket, thats why I was saying a good heavy coat of sealant on the gasket to fill any deformity.

Theres alway, V the crack, try to press the bulge back in shape & weld, but then you have to surface the gasket area back flat because the welding will push & pull the case.

Nothing came Saturday.

Did some testing with, JB Weld. Test sample sat in Honda HP tranny fluid, for 6 weeks. No change in appearance. Then I heated the sample in the fluid, [MENTION=677]250[/MENTION] degrees for 2 hrs. Still no visible changes. I sealed the crack up. Going to give it a whirl.
