It was a busy few few months at home so no real action on the Austin.
I dismantled the engine and there are a few spots I want your opinion on.
This is a small crack, caused by a broken connecting rod.

On the inside it looks like this.

There is a hole in the mounting spot for the starter motor.

The rest are smaller (non) issues and I think normal on a engine of this age.

So what do you think? I don't have the missing piece for the starting motor hole.
Does anybody has tips to close it?
