RE: IML: welding a crack in engine block?



And peen the weld as it cools - supposedly relieves the shrinking stresses set up by the heat....

I've welded cast many times, with a stick welder. get it very clean, use a nickel rod, and heat the parts with a torch before welding them, also  turn your welder up pretty high.  none of my cast welds have ever failed.
