Default cracked crankcase

Hi guys. I have a crankcase that is cracked in 3 places...Engine runs...anything I can do to repair it instead of replacing the engine? How would epoxy work? Any suggestions?

It's a 110cc GIo Hummer...I took pics, but can't figure out how to post them on here...It's cracked in 3 places...just tiny cracks....was wondering if it can be repaired with epoxy. It looks like something hard and sharp hit it from the side. It didn't happen during shipping because the box it came in was not damaged.

JB weld should work. I pluged a hole the size of a quarter on a Motorcycle crank case and a truck oil pan and it held for years.
