[QUOTE="scouringpad, post: 116756, member: 19402"] Most magnesium alloys can be welded, brazed, and soldered. There are some magnesium alloys that cannot be welded successfully with standard methods. I don't think it is likely to explode or burn, unless you grind it into a pile of dust and then ignite it. As to the original post: If you don't want to split the cases to have it repaired or replaced, and don't mind the look of J-B Weld, it may do the trick - as many have said above. I used it on an old Honda I used to have after the chain broke and was driven through the crankcase, and it was still not leaking when I last saw the bike some years later. I think it depends on the location of the crack, the thickness of the material there, and whether it is prone to flexing or vibration. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
