if welding not possible, use miliput, i cracked my inspection timing cover plug on my xl600 lm , n it held oil in ok , pluss you can drill it too.

Only the top and clutch/rotor covers are magnesium. The rest is alloy.

update

just to let you know fingers crossed i think ive made a very good repair to the crankcase as there was plenty of thead to use with a longer bolt fitted! perfect. just got to get a clutch tool now so it can go back together
