I have seen them welded that held but they all look like crap after being welded. I have repaired many using brass screws. If it it just a hair line crack you can fix it easily by drilling and tapping. You start at one end of the crack. Drill and tap a hole to match your brass screws/bolts, I usually use 1/4 x 20. Then screw the brass bolt in so it is just through the block on the inside. Cut the screw off flush with the block on the out side. Drill the next hole half on the brass and half on the crack. Tap it and tread in another brass screw. Repeat as long as it takes to go the length of the crack. It is kind of slow because you only gain half the width of the bolts you are using. It does leave a repair that looks very good and will hold well. Many times you can not even see the repair after painting. The brass expands faster than the cast iron. So when you run it it will seal tighter after it is warm.
