Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on January 26, 2008, 00:50:54 am when I worked at Small Car (SCS) They always pulled the seats out before welding the Heads they use to have a Big Oven I think they heated them up to either 500 or 750 before welding then let them cool in the oven after welding I would Check with a Good Head Porter?

Post by: ugly duckling on January 27, 2008, 02:43:21 am hello. i prefurr 450deg. 4043 alloy is the norm to use. in some instunses 5356 alloy only in the chamber area. i would say 4043 on anything on the 044 head. hopefully you wont get any snap crakkel pop when they cool down. put a heat blanket or back in the oven let cool down slow. and cross your fingers. good luck to ya .

Post by: Black Sheep on January 27, 2008, 23:06:45 pm Cheers Richie , they need four welds in each intake chamber where some muppet took too material out of them in some ham fisted attempt to port them >:(, all was ok till we started to machine them for duel springs and found the machining for the inlet valve breached the inlet chamber ::)
Mucho tea bags to follow ;D |
