Cast Iron - No Coolant Blues 😁
Hey, can anyone give me some advice please? I need to weld a cast iron piece on an engine block, it blew up in the frost the other day and I'm confused whether it's doable or not. Thickness is 4mm. I've read about it needing a lot of pre-heating, some are putting the block in furness... etc Thanks

@Matthew Albert thanks a lot Matthew, it's a real pain, the guy's short of money and I'm not confident to be doing a good job of this, so I recommended he gets a new engine to fit in.
THANKFUL
They say the third generation is where legacies are either cemented or lost. For a decade, I was lost. I went from starving and buried in debt to physically shattered—surviving a hit-and-run and a facial reconstruction that nearly took my will to live. I was inches away from giving up on everything. Then on my birthday when I was close to my lowest point came an email and somehow among over 5thousand others I saw it an offer to join the company I’ve tried and tried and tried to be a part of to no avail and here they are reaching out to me of all people. Joining this company isn't just a career move; it is a homecoming of sorts going all the way back to the early days of the company on the very same ground back to when it was known by a different name before the multi billion dollar facilities were built the way it is now the luxurious workplace it is now I am following the footsteps of two generations before me, two generations who had all but given up on me being anything two generations that died believing I was a lost cause… but because of that I am bringing a perspective they never had to endure. I know what it’s like to have nothing, which is why I will give this everything. My dreams didn't die on that gravel road. They were forged there. To anyone who thinks I’m just lucky to be here: I didn't just get an opportunity. I survived long enough to claim it. Watch me work.
