Mig Welding cast iron engine block - Volvo TD100

[@filibertobarrera3839]

This works cause the engine only gets to 160 degrees farehight when running,repair usually works temporily on exhaust manifolds.

I'm really glad you could put it back together :)
Anyway, did you find out what happened to the engine in the first place? What caused it to explode the pistons, some faulty piston rings or something with the sleeves?

Возможно такую работу удобней сваркой электродами делать

[@littlejane4126]

Saab asja ;)

Ma oleks seda tükki nii tagasi keevitanud, et kõigepealt MIG keevitusega osadest kohtadest ära punktida ja siis MMA keevitusega (ehk elektroodiga) üle. Jääb tugevam keevitus. Aga see on vaid minu arvamus.

Put the engine+generator back in the trolley so we could see it driving asap

[@benaspetkevicius7139]

Yay!

[@mmushler5887]

Of course put it back! Just make sure that whatever the reason was that destroyed it in the first place is also fixed (fuel issue?).

[@ganjalfcreamcorn8438]

bro those tack welds are not going to hold up. you gotta preheat cast iron, and most people use tig for cast. also needs to cool super slowly.

[@haydenmidyette8918]

I was just thinking that them tacks ain't gonna hold up for nothing on top of all the porosity you spent more time sealing those welds with lead than actually welding it correctly I don't expect that to hold long at all if it's held up for over a week or so your lucky

Keretina jootmise jaoks saab nt motonetist, see õhuke sodi aurab minema lihtsalt. Miks nikkelelektroodi ei kasutanud malmi keevitamiseks?

[@skoda15tr65]

ma ei tea.pole elektroodkeevitust

[@Velts93]

why no point in putting it back? ofcourse but it back. if it goes it goes for good

[@Spiw598]

Лучше поставить обратно.
