Tecumseh Broke Rod

That would be interesting, not to cover the opening (I'd still use metal) but as a sealant instead of RTV. But I did a quick search of could that stuff repair a cracked oil pan which is a similar thing. Alas, the internet says no.
 
New gasket between crankcase and sump has a note to use blue Loctite on it. No sign there was ever any sealant on the original but I suppose I should follow their advice. Plus the gasket material may have changed over the years.
 
I applaud this guy for doing this. Would be tremendous if he did get it running. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Now fix the rod and put a big pipe plug in the side of the block. Can later check your oil, directly, using the plug LOL.
