RE: [T3] Volkswagen Metallurgy 101


I've talked with a couple of professional welders and they say it can be
welded.  I just need to bring the engine to them.  But I have some mobile
services that are supposed to call me back.

One told me that JB Weld will work as he's seen it used on air-cooled
motorcycles (I've got a motorcycle fanatic I'm in contact with to help
verify this possibility).  He told me what to do.  He also said that it may
be possible to peen the crack closed since the metal is more malleable than
steel.  So I've got some options.

Like I told Toby B., the adventure continues...
