We successfully repair engines by metal stitching. Those who say it can't be done have never seen it done.
it is a stress free/permanent way of doing crack repair rather than welding or JB weld.
Dealing with engines from the Northeast and around the world, almost every engine has some form of crack repairs needed to make it whole again.

I have enclosed a few pictures showing examples.
