Started the car, idle was a little rough...heard a tapping. Found the source, I first thought the bolt holding the coil down was loose. Took a look at it today in the light and notice the crack in the tin.
Any suggestions on how to fix before I get some liquid metal? Attached image(s)

I had the exact same issue a couple of years back. I had a friend who was taking a welder's course and brought it to him. One of his teachers did a really nice TIG weld on it. You can barely see it.

Huh, I have a crack in the same location. MIG weld it when you get a chance to drop the engine. That's the easy method. For the sadist you can MIG weld it in-situ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
