I have a crack that has developed in the timing cover of my Westerbeke W50. Unfortunately it has been impossible to find a replacement - I've spoken with several Westerbeke dealers and they do not have any replacements and told me the part is no longer available.

I've attached some pictures of the crack - does this look like something that could be welded? I've asked a few people about it and they are concerned about the thickness of the metal on the cover and not being able to weld it. Others have told me to apply some JB weld and move on. Looking for some advice or if anyone knows where I could find a timing cover for a W50.

Our W40 timing cover was repaired with fiberglass before we bought the boat.
Looks kind of sloppy but seems to be holding up fine. It's only function seems to be to catch oil that is slinging around in there.
If you aren't leaking oil just keep an eye on it.
