I got a mig welder I could do it. I was actually thinking about doing that already...When I first got the truck the oil and coolant got milky. I thought it had a bad head gasket but the chain had worn through the timing cover coolant passage. I ended up replacing the chain and guides and I'm cheap so I actually welded the timing cover with my alum. spool gun attachment then I filed the alum. beads down flat and reused the cover. Worked awesome.
