I can pretty much guarantee you anyone that could do a competent job won't do it in place  . is it a structural crack or is porosity in the cast.

it obviously cant be welded in place, too dirty.  needs to be spotless and pre heated even with a spool gun.

If you want it welded properly with TIG , PM me. It will have to be out of the vehicle.

Apparently there are people on this site that dont know the difference between a general post about a thread and taking something personal

If something i post happens to male a person think it may be directed at or to them......

They are mistaken. As always

I was under the impression that tig welding was better for aluminum application. I've welded aluminum with my mig, with what I figured were good results. But I'm no expert welder. From what I've been told, at least in the aluminum mold aspect of it, Tig was the best way to go.
I'm not arguing the facts, I just don't know the do and don't s and why and why not's.
