Aluminum Welding Heads

Drtbkercr5 · February 13th, 2009, 11:43 AM

How tough is it too aluminum weld something? Is it possible on a PI head with a small pinhole? Would it be a good idea to do this or are the heads shot?

It can be very difficult if you have not done it before i would not start on a set of heads. Where is the hole.

The whole is by the back of the head where the intake bolt threads in. They guy tried to helicoil the snapped off bolt out and accidently threaded into a watch jacket. I was gonna ask if you think the place Im getting my heads looked at could do it?
