I'm trying to give Oscar a hard time. Please don't ruin it with facts and figures.

Oh my bad. I thought you were Oscar.

BTW, your pics are really good. They look awesome at my house on my ~130" view. Yes this is how I read/post on forums :D https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1XgqsyBxIc_2NnUBm6J8Rpkeqh6ZwmpZ5 https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1XlN4trTF96Hej0MCD2msdlVuag7tYehV I remember ...

If you haven't yet pieced it together, a repair like that is both a challenge and a liability for even the most experienced welders. Every shop owner I know, including myself, would reject that work. It can be repaired. Anything can be repaired. But as others have mentioned, are you willing to pay ...

i would check out @tighappens on instagram as he does quite a bit of this type of work (and its awesome!). this^^^^^^^ Check out how he grinds cracks out before he welds them. Also, he was a guest on WTAT podcast recently, if you haven't listened to his interview, you should. He's in Italy. I have....

Thanks for everybody’s 2 cents. It all adds up to a dollar, and it helps.[emoji57][emoji16]. Ductape... lol I tried JBweld but it’s didn’t work. [emoji2357] And Yeah Oscar, I don’t think my welder has the advanced ac pulse, still a decent welder though I think. And I’ll make sure to clean really goo...

I’m definitely going to take the oil pan off to see whats behind and what’s what. And that’s a coolant passage way to the left and the crack migrated there, as to why I was hoping to weld from the inside. And I might even be able to remove the upper oil pan if it’s not to much work or even just repl...

I'm not a tig guru, so I want to preface that. There are a couple things to consider. 4043 has silicon in it. 4643 also has silicon, but it has a small amount of magnesium, and my understanding is this makes it a tad stronger than 4043, and many people like to use this. 5356 has magnesium in it. Th...

Lol no. It’s a 2006 and not a regular family car. It’s a “car guys” car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I hear ya. Is the engine block already out of the car and disassembled? I couldn't imagine trying to work on it with it in-car. Lots of repairs are demonstrated on YouTube using 4043, but eve...

Hey guys, I’m new to welding and especially trying to learn Tig welding more than anything. Some backstory to my question here. Audi s4 threw a belt and broke off a little chunk of aluminum which was a protrusion for a bolt and caused a 3” hairline crack in my block, now it’s leaking oil. My questio...
