Thanks Greg, much appreciated. I can lay down a couple of beads with the TIG…. hopefully without any issues.
I bead blasted the cover, which I normally wouldn’t do, but this one needs some help and will be painted anyway. Bead blasting was followed with a session in the oven just to see what would come out of it. The cover is quite porous compared to others I have seen. I was surprised at the amount of oil that came out of it considering it’s an outer cover and wouldn’t normally see that much oil.
