I've searched around quite a bit on here and other sites about the best way to repair engine tin or sheetmetal cracks. I know this must have been covered before because every 914 or VW for that matter I've ever owned has had at least some cracks in the engine tin somewhere.
I'm wondering if I should try welding these cracks up with a mig welder, braising them with a torch or some other method would be better. Any suggestions? What have you all done to repair your engine tins? Do you have any pictures of your repairs? Any information will be appreciated. |
