Jb Weld on aluminum intake

I used an epoxy putty to fix a cracked lawnmower crankcase.
It lasted many years of hard use.
Having it welded would be the best.
My local welding shop is owned by my good friend, little welds like that dont cost me a thing.
I tried the crankcase repair, due to having to rip engine completely apart and all the oil. It was a test. A very successful one.
