Any thought on this.PS I'm a retired welder and know about cast welding, and brazing. I would like to do it in place, drilling and stoping the crack,(it went from 1 in, to @7in). I'm in the pressoss of rebuilding a 235 for my 3600.....Thanks Paul | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | I know that brazing a crack in cast iron was common years ago. I think that with new technology other methods have become more popular. I know that my Dad had a Model A that the cylinder head was cracked and had been brazed more than once over the years. It still holds to this day so I don't doubt that it can be done successfully. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 93 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 93 | Thanks for a quick reply, thats my thoughts also.I'll wate and see if the world comes to a end tomarrow if not then I'll try. If it ends I'll wate a little longer..........Paul | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | I gas welded a final drive case on a good sized bulldozer and it held and that thing was under a lot of stress. | | |
