If the bolt works fine now just bring your engine to a welding shop and have them weld up the crack in the case.

I would try jbweld or marine tech first. Just be sure to clean the area real good, soap and water, let dry, then electric contact cleaner. It drys with no film at all. Patch it, let it sit over night, should be good to go.
