Default ls1 block crack from oil pan bolt


i swapped my f-body oil pan for canton 15-276 for my 240sx and it was night and lighting in my new garage I'm renting sucks and i was going to re-use oil pan bolts even though flange was thicker on aluminum pan i saw the holes on the side of the block were straight through and the bolt would just purtrude through the hole, well failed to realize not all were straight through didn't make it to 18ft lbs then heard a light click...is it junk or can it be welded? i have a torquer v2 cam,1.8 roller rockers, ls6 intake and WAS gonna go with a 200 shot but doubt i can now. so u guys think I can get away welding and don't push to much power?,I know it's in a bad spot

Looks to me like it can be welded. Just be sure to get the correct length bolts.

get a good welder and keep things as cool as possible and you're golden.
