Redneck Engine Repair (true story)

[Hick 2,229]

When I worked at a L&G shop back in 2008, a Kohler engine was brought in with one of the "ears" that the starter bolts on to was broke off the block. Only "correct" way to fix it was replace the block. Boss had seen some of my less-than-orthodox fixes of my own and asked me if I thought I could rig something up. Sure, why not?
SUCCESS!

Looks stronger than the original. -  stelel instead of cast aluminum?

Nothing wrong with that and it looks stronger than original. (like PGL said)

Great fix to what would have been a very expensive "factory"  fix!

That's a smart fix and will run forever. Better than stock.
