Yes they can.
I have repaired several small 4 cyl alum blocks that were damaged in wrecks. Some had large holes broken out into the water jacket.

You have saved a lot of people a LOT of money with your skills.
Thanks,
This trans was about $2800. The mech that brought it to my shop said he thought for sure they had an expensive boat anchor.

Well done! Are there issues with oil /fluids filling the metal's pores?

Yes, oil, and other types of contamination is always a problem with most cast material when welding. aluminum, cast iron, bronz, etc.

Thanks. This is the second trans I repaired in the last three weeks. The other was for a Chevy truck. A rookie tightened the top two bolts on the bell housing when the alignment pins were not aliened with the housing. Broke the top of the bell housing off.
