crack in timing cover

Hello, I have to take the timing cover off again due to no start on reassembly. Managed to crack the cover by the tensioner cover plate hole. Is this fixable with RTV? Really hope it is because that isn't in the budget. Thank you much for any advice.

I cracked mine as well and bought a replacement from Maxima_Joe a trusted seller here on the .org at an affordable price. You could try JB weld on the outside and maybe RTV on the inside but the oil inside the timing cover is under pressure so it will most likely leak in the future
