Welding inside engine

Hey guys, I have a little Honda Cb400, and a tab with a mount hole for the counterbalance chain guide was broken off inside the engine. Do you think it'd be wise to weld it on, or should I just get a new crankcase?

Right on. It'll cost me less for the cases than it will for the replacement parts for mine. I'll probably leave it and keep the ones I have for a rainy day. I can always get it welded down the road if I need to.
