For such precise welding on such a small Easy-Out wouldn't TIG be better ?
Either way , which machines do you recommend and why?
The common useage for this situation on the M96 would be the exhaust manifold bolts ?

First I am not a welder.But i`ve seen it done but not in this exact application.

For such a small bolt, Mig is too hot and clumsy.It is 1/8" diameter !!! If it was 1/4" maybe,1/2" certainly.
Tig would be a much wiser choice because it is far more precise and will cause much less localized heating.Lets see what Mr. Diablo says?
