Annoying for sure but repairable. You can try the JB weld, if it doesn't hold then you can braze it. If it came to it I would braze over arc welding but an expert could do it. My luck with welding cast is about 50/50.
The trick with JB weld is cleaning the base metal. After you grind the area you want to use _acetone_ to remove all oil residues. I think I found that info on the JB website. Even some brake cleaners can leave a residue.
