Default Re: flywheel housing crack repair?

I'm new at this so bear with me. Fortunately, although they are cracked, nothing much falls apart. You only know it's cracked when you see the crack. It seems to be a harmless condition, but one that will bug the hell out of you as long as you know it's there. I have a FW housing with a small (Short) crack in it. Since it's junk now I can't hurt it. I drilled a small "Crackstop" hole at each of the crack end to prevent the crack from getting longer. I'm debating in my mind whether or not to to drill along the entire crack and fill it with braze or just what to do. Of course, if I braze it I'll have to, heat the entire thing up in the barbecue and apply even more heat to the area of the crack to apply the braze. I dunno! Anybody got a suggestion?
