I will look into brazing rods. All you need is a are gone torch and to get the base material to 300゚F at which point the brazing rod will start some melt and seep into the seem kind of like soldering.
All you need is practiss brother. There is no pretending there's either you do it or you don't do it. When you do it you will fuckup but learning from your fuckup so is how you become better.
Yes shielding gas makes for a cleaner Weld and it helps cool down the metal so you won't burn through as fast. Always use gas especially when you don't have flux cored wire.
I'm not talking ship just being a friend. Get some leather gloves the gloves you are wearing will melt the instant molten metal heads them. Nice welding gloves are relatively cheap, you can get a set at harbour freight for 15-20 bucks.
U should get shielding gas for ur welder ur welds will turn out better as well as prep ur surfaces clean the paint off to metal for better results also maybe turn ur voltage down some on thinner material but it’s great u are trying to learn something new stay at it practice makes perfect
My turbo B20 Integra after 2 years of abuse decided I’d go for a little more power, took it up from 11 to 13 psi, log never shows it leaning out but blew cylinder 3. Probably should at least do the ring gap if anything if your planning for more than 300hp.
Yo you dummy that grease is going to get flung all over the flywheel, clutch pads, pressure plate and ruin whatever gripping capabilities it ever hard.
