Cylinder wall weld??

Hello gentlemen, I guess I will step in on this post. These types of repairs are kind of iffy but seem to work ok on cast iron. I found out that if the block etc. is super clean and ground out, heated up well, and come in with a Tig machine with a 1/8-3/32 499 nickel rod that has had the flux knocked off and polished works very well and lays in great. Myself, i would source a different block/head. someone has to keep the antique's running! I just went out to my shop and my weld directory is missing, might double check on that welding rod number. Good luck, John
