i bought this bike from a local australian paper i got it cheap when i went to pick it up it looked like the guy had'nt washed it in 6 months :ohmy: so i thought it was a bargain (1995-96 husky WR250) i couldnt see the grey oil in the window as it had been covered in dirt i got the bike home gave it a wash with the high pressure washer come up nice than i noticed the grey oil i thought that was ok its only a water pump seal no biggie so i started pulling the bike down yesterday only to find i had to pull the whole motor out of the bike just to remove the left hand side casing cover argggghhhh once i had this off i noticed my problem might not have been the water pump seal i could see the bike had a cracked crankcase and there were 2 or 3 small pin holes leaking water at this time i thought to my self ive just been ripped off :ugg: please look at the pictures below and tell me it is possable for JB weld to come to the rescue? in the second picture u can see the biggest hole right in front of the arrow the other two are small enough i couldnt fit a needle through it also if JB weld can do the job how long will it hold?
all help is much appreciated

I'v used JB weld on a crack of my old bike, and it held up real good, even when I sold the bike it was still holdin up.the crack was on the outside crank case, a rock flrew up, and chipped a small hole. The stuff does work, at least the one time I used it.
