it seems it had a bit of an oil leek. so i looked in to it and found that the block was cracked right by the starter. so i tore ot apart and welded up the crack, not real fun to weld but got it done. so now i will power wash the hole thing and get it back together.
thats tig welding. i can weld alot better then that. but your trying to burn all the crap out of the aluminum. even after cleaning the heck out of it and pre heating with a propane tourch to try to help burn the junk out of it before you weld it.
