Some gorilla (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) was tightening the AN fitting into the case and forgot that he IS a gorilla and therefore when someone says crank it down he should tighten loosely.... He also forgot that the magnesium case is prone to cracking on the oil jacket.
But since I've got this cousin who is a welder he can fix my, errr the gorilla's mistake (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) , if I can find out the right grade of magnesium he can order the correct filler and fix my block. Fixed block means power, power means motivation, which means I'll be driving it soon!!! Anyone know? Thanks! Mike D. '73 conversion w/'69 2.0S (6) 7&9 5 bolt Fuchs and flares |

QUOTE(ejm @ Dec 27 2003, 08:59 PM) Give Chris Foley a call. I know he welds tranny cases... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Umm...wasn't mine...really It was mine..... still holding up looks Good. Just have Chris weld the case for you. Welding Magnesium is tricky and I know Chris is one of the few that will even attempt this type of repair. Bring him the case..... |
