You might want to use a black marker then sand there to see if the crack is still there. Better now than later.

Not by any remotely legitimate shop or welder unless it can somehow be slugged on both sides of the crack.
Fortunately his looks like it was just a scratch from pulling the motor out. ;)
Still recovering,some days are better than others.
