drill and tap for a relatively large bolt (3/8, 7/16), cutoff wheel and smooth off excess bolt , and then drill and tap stock size. Did it once on a rearend yoke on a truck, and got away with it. No problem on a low tension valve cover bolt. Genius, I have never even thought of that. I will have to remember it. X2!
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

This may be a lost art these days but I'd put a stud in there and braze it in place (brass rod). Cast iron is easy to braze and it will also repair that crack coming from the hole. Let it cool on it's own after brazing, don't cool it with water.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

Clean cast iron is easy to braze, getting it clean is another story. But goos idea
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
