This is a personal project. The alternative to welding it is i need a new head any way so why not try to save it. This is my screw up while porting. My Loss is only to be gained from attempting repair.
Here is the damage.

My question is If you were to weld it how would you set it up????
The port is about 1.7" dia
The hole, needing fillled, is a little over an inch reach from the edge.
The hole opens to a crank case oil return passage. (no pressure).
Welding position is OVERHEAD on aluminum. (in the car.)
My setup is currently a
D200 ,@ 90 hz, CK17 torch, small gas lense, #8 alumina cup, 3/32 2% Ceriated, 30cfh argon, BOUT 1.2" stick out..
I have struck up an ark in there but felt like i was not getting gas coverage.
Argon is heavier than air.
Should i switch to a long clear cup?
How would you do it?
