How hard is it to weld cast aluminum

I've had good luck with the aluminum I'd had welded but I have a really good welder locally I go to who tigs everything for me. He's done some paper thin crappy aluminum to a heavy piece when I broke the bung loose from my honda quad's dry sump tank. If that can be done I can only imagine that the stator cover shouldn't be a big issue. Just find someone good with a tig and they can work magic.

Yeah.. thats what they were saying. All that is needed to be welded was about an 1/2 inch tab, they were saying that the aluminum is impossible to weld sense it can be impregnated with oil, but i wouldnt know i just hope my mechanic will do it and everything will be okay, otherwise its back to the garage and some homemade remedies to fix a seepy gasket
