is it buggered?

Today I removed the 5E-FTE from my wrecked Sera:

When investigating, I removed the offside mount, and found the crank casing looks like this:

As you can see, one bolt sheared, fixable, one bolt bent, mounting point is fine, but the bottom left mounting point is cracked. These cracks go as deep as the bolt hole, but the casing itsself is still sealed.
Can it be fixed? or even just ignored? Any advice much appreciated!

Touch and go dude,

your could weld it up, but everytime your driving it, you'll be wondering about the crack....


You need a block man. Personally I wouldn't be driving about with a crack like that in the block.

Prevention is better than cure mate!
