955L Timing case can it be brazed?

Yes the cover is cast steel and could be hit with a Mig to build up this area and buffed flat, the bush in the gear is something I always change and the mounting peg comes free with a new oil pump, you will need to time up the complete gear train including the injector pump, the idler gear to the injection pump has no marks and is set off the pegged flywheel, the con rods are marked for front also, I always fit new bushings in the block for the Lanchester balance shafts also for the camshaft as they are always worn, the balance shafts are handed as the drive teeth angle is opposite cut, the rear crank seal is a hydro dynamic type with the steel sleeve that fits in 6 mm from the back case the sleeve on the crank has to be on around 4 mm past the end of the crank to match the pot depth of the flywheel, the front crank seal can be just a rubber job or again a hydro dynamic type with the steel sleeve that has to be set home in one like the rear.

Bushings on gears were reused from previous builder im replacing all of them and the gear that wore into the housing, new oil pump, and balances shafts and yes I knew they are LH RH , (just trying to find best course of action to repair housing because customer does not want to order another one) also just dont understand when you already have 8k in an engine why someone would cheap out on a couple bushings, oil pump, and balance shafts(Is what it is now i guess. In case anyone is wondering yes most of rebuild has been covered by the guy who organized the previous rebuild but not fully since it was also overheated and continued to run it while hot on top of all the other issues (scored liners and pistons bad valves)

Price out repairing the damaged cover at higher than the $270 of a used cover from eBay in that case. There's more than one way of skinning a cat.......

Just weld it and buff it it will work fine and nothing beats metal, brass weld = heat, a bit of weld wire cost nothing, don't forget to check the piston cooling spray jets and strip the ends off the oil cooler and check the water tubes, that cover seems to have you in a panic, just weld it nothing will hurt.
