I have been working on a friends snow blower. the unit stopped with a loud bang emanating and then a seized situation. We took the flywheel off to find a mangled alternator. Somehow the alternator screw(s) had come lose allowing the coil to jamb in the flywheel. One of the mounting standoffs (cast with the block) ripped off and left a divot in the engine casting. The centre of the divot is thin and has a hole into the engine. It is located just a bit above the crankshaft. We cleaned the divot area then wire brushed it and cleaned again with brake cleaner. We then used JB-Weld to repair. After the first use there was oil everywhere. We haven't taken it apart to inspect yet. My question is, is it possible to repair such a fault using JB-Weld?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
