Subject:TIG welder in the San Jose area?
From:Dave Bayer
Date:Wed, 26 Aug 1998 09:59:31 -0700

Hello-
        I need to find a someone who has and can operate a TIG welder in the
SF Bay Area. After what seems like a pretty successful rebuild (more on that
later), one the rebuilt heads I purchased from AVP has a crack running down
the length of one of the exhaust bolt holes. Due to effort and time
constraints, I would really prefer to find a shop with a TIG welder that will
run a line of aluminium down this splitting crack and then put a Helicoil in
so I don't have to pull the head... Does anyone know of a shop that might do
this with the engine in the car?
