UPDATE - Yes
So I'm trying to get a better seal on for my headers to heads. I can't weld, yet. So I found a SS welder nearby. Looking at the exhaust tubes through the heat exchanger hole I see surface rust. Are the tubes themselves also SS or just the casing for the heat exchangers? Can I just use regular mild steel welding?

Take careful measurements of the centers for the mounting tabs and the tubes on these. I used an old head when my tabs broke off like this. Even then a had to do some manual stress reliving. (Dead blow hammer). The tubes WILL move when you weld them. That is why the welds break....they were lousy to begin with. Weld the tabs on BOTH sides using TIG. BTDT |
