Had a cast aluminum engine part, a timing chain cover, to weld up yesterday. These cast aluminum pieces are always interesting to weld on, sometimes it is good, sometimes not so good....
Syncrowave 200, 175 amps, balance 7.3, straight argon @ 17cfh, 2% Lanthanated tungsten (sharp tip), 4043 filler
damaged area

a hole worn through the casting allowing water into the engine oil

welded up
