Spy shots from inside Area51Werks. Lots of cutting, hammering, fabrication and welding were rumored to have taken place today.

So Aric and I tag teamed it. I pulled out the buzz box and some nickel welding rod. Aric heated the block with the rose bud torch head and kept it hot while I arc welded the crack. We had the head bolted on tight and worked the crack slow. After welding you will have some pin holes. The sand cast block has lots of impurity's. I took the cutting head, (couldn't find my #2 tip) and melted the nickel rod around the pin holes and peened them closed.
