Yes, there is a crack there, but it doesn't go all the way through to the outside. I don't know what the heck the previous owner did to that cam cover, he f****d it all up.

What type of places do you go to/recommend to get the cover welded? How do you tell if they are a GOOD aluminum tig welder and know what their doing? I don't really have any idea where to go to get something like that done.

Personally I would look for someone Aircraft Certified. There is a whole new level of expertise there. That is not to say that there aren't those out there that are as good, but you certainly have a better chance of getting one that is "Good" Whom ever you choose make sure they are a certified tig welder.

Box it up and ship it up to JeffVette.
I'm absolutely positive that he can fix you up without breaking your bank account.

I agree wholeheartedly. My Aircraft Welder post was made under the assumption he was looking locally.

Once I have some extra money, I'm planning on sending you my damaged cam cover and also the driver's side coolant tube that bolts onto the IH assembly, it needs some repair also.
