First of all, forgive me for posting about a car, but if it helps, the word for car in my parents' language is "machine"...
I don't know if this is the best subforum for this question but here it goes.
I am reassembling a classic Mercedes engine, an M100 6.9L V8. I just found this crack in one of the timing chain gears/sprockets. The dealer is the only place to get a new one, and they want a month's rent for it. I normally am OK with shelling out and taking good care of a car, but this engine has already cost me a lot. I wanted to know if there is any way to repair this type of thing or if I have to buy a new one. Thanks in advance for any/all help you can provide.
