I have drilled them before with no problem.Im not saying his wont be a problem,just that I have done it with no problem.Maybe they are only hard on the outside if he is lucky and the inside is soft.

Im not saying that you cant weld something like that.If I did somebody would weld it just to show me I was wrong.However something that small is usually hard to get a good weld on it.If you cant drill it then thats whats left but its better to tap it if you can.Unless you are real careful with sparks flying everywhere up on top of a motor you could have a fire,you could weld everywhere except where you need to and you could mess something else up,you could have spatter stuck to a cam lobe or crank journal or something.You could cause more damage.
