Ally sump welding quote......

[Eternal]

Well i have all the rods required and also some nice bits of ally that can be made into plugs. I will pop over to toolstation tomorrow and pick one of those adapters up. Will give it a bash myself if i can... not done any ally work yet but need to learn as i have soooooooo much to weld/fab. Sump, cam covers, waterblock, IAC valve adapter, throttle body adapter and a inlet plenum.

One thing i could really do with some help on at some point is the correct settings to use on the R-Tech welder for ally/cast ally.

*current depending on thickness but needs to AC
*balance around 50% depends on how clean material is
*You could use pulse to help penetration and keep the heat to min
*slope up and down maybe couple of seconds


It really is a case of learning the basics and learn what work for you
