    From what I could tell, bevelling, cleaning and tinning the edges properly seemed to be key to getting it to stick properly. The bits I sledgehammer tested stuck really well where I’d done it carefully.

    I reckon tin cans would be ideas to make small formers for “on the fly” mouldings [:D]

    Yes, as you have to get the job up to temperature and the oil seals etc wont stand up to the temp required to weld the casting.

    *although* – look at the rubber seal on the test coolant flange..no sign of serious issues there…
