Thanks! Yeah, they are pretty rusty, but there’s enough thread left to even screw a nut on a little bit to keep it in place.
Still worried about welding just being too hot and there being a danger of warping the head. Hoping to hear that this is not a big risk if I take it easy from someone that has been through this with an M96 engine. Have you, Iceman?
I have found quite a lot on the net of people drilling out with jigs on M96, but not much about the weld method. Wondering why.
