Welding cast iron is tuff to do. I would never weld up any block that has main webs cracked. If it is thru the oil galley it will never have the correct pressure. The block broke for a reason. Welding it will not make it stronger. Welding cast iron make it more brittle and will brake faster than the not welded area.
