LI_BENTLEY Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 From Long Island N Y, need circa 1912 engine block cracks welded. Who within a couple hundred miles can weld without heating in oven? Yes it can be done. Need person with experience as block is irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friartuck Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I knew of a shop in Long Island City called Cool Weld, but thought they did the oven method. I have welded cast iron using special welding rods from Muggyweld. Their link and my article is posted at:Muggy Weld Presents: Cast Iron WeldingA regular competant welder should be able to do this using Muggy's cast iron welding rods. Remember to use a technique called back stiching. Practicing on some old marine cast iron manifolds may be in order.Good Luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 If the block is irreplaceable do not attemp this yourself unless you are an expert welder experianced in cast iron repair. If the crack is a non sturctural water jacket type crack, brazing may be a better choice............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
