Thats what I should have done with mine, but mine is a series II.
Just for giggles, I attempted to weld the crankcase of the holed junk series I
I had.
The warping caused was terrific, and had it been a successful "patch", I believe there would of been problems with hairline cracks/leakage,
also that is a mounting area for the heads.
The webbing on series 1 is minimal.
Just my .$02
