LOL.........

Ron, I'm just the opposite. I've never had anything billet welded! Just castings. The welders have never pre-heated the parts, and have always said the repair was stronger than the original. Probably the most stressed aluminum parts I've had repaired are wheel hubs for off road motorcycles. The repairs never failed afterwards.

I can see the need to pre-heat a tempered material, like 6061-T6. I doubt there is a need with a casting. I'm tempted to go read up and resolve this, but I'm a bit busy tonight and through the weekend.

It's getting cold, better jump back in the hot tub. take care my friend.
