Yes, I know people prefer to TIG stainless. I don't have that. I have the same 120v Lincoln welder that I have been using for the past 15 years.
I also have a set of SSIs that I can practice on and maybe repair before getting to the main task of adding an 02 bung to a different set of SSI pipes. So, what's the process? Gas mix? Obviously it needs to be really clean. Any specific filler spools I should be looking at? Zach |

Instead of welding an O2 bung in the SS heat exchanger, weld the bung some where in the muffler unless that is stainless also. Welding the bung in the heat exchanger is only going to read 1 cylinder.

Welding the bung in the heat exchanger is only going to read 1 cylinder. I’m aware. My new engine was tuned with the bung in 1 pipe. I have a muffler bung that I could use already. But if the engine was tuned for a specific thing, I’m going to attempt to recreate it. I also got a lot of reversion in my old engine using the muffler bung as it was too close to the tail pipe. Fine for WOT but would get reversion and read a bit lean at idle and off throttle. Zach |
