Valve cover welding

[spectra bash]

Looking for a place near Longbeach area that could do some welding on some old M/T valve covers closing up some holes. Thanks for any responses. Zach

Those are going to be tricky for a couple of reasons. For one thing they are cast aluminum which doesn't weld real well and the other thing is that they probably have been run on an engine (meaning that they are contaminated). You're going to need to take them to someone that knows what their doing or you're going to end up with two piles of aluminum. I would recommend Dan's Certified Welding in Downey.

Turn em into wall art and get new ones. I think they still make the retro ones. If not, check Craigslist or go to the Pomona swap meet

Bring them to the shop and we'll take a look. We do this all the time, swapping tops to make something that never was, usually.

I have these, they need some welding done as well where someone put breathers on them.

You can buy new ones for BBC. Zach has a BBF, so not so lucky I think.

Other thing is, I have a few sets of those here, I can take a look at their condition, might save you some money.

I don't need these, I just figured I would post them up, maybe they were in better shape than what you had, but you have a Ford. I was just trying to keep the inmates in mind, if anyone needs them hit me up, they're yours.
