Engine Welding

[Mikey3]

Righto.

I've got my old engine welded up, in the frame, and she is confirmed a runner as of this evening! (sounds awful with just the manifold outlets without headers) Well chuffed!

The mount has been welded up, and a spacer put between the left and right mounts to protect it that bit more when it's tightened up.

My only concern is will it be strong enough during day to day use?
I trust it will, as engine's/frames get welded up an awful lot, especially in custom land, reckon it'll be all good?

Drill hole through weld, put bolt through.

Depends how big the weld is.

First off, excellent news! Glad to hear you've got it sorted.

Any weld, if made properly is as strong as the original metal. Don't forget that you're joining parts at the molecular level - it's not like glue. It should be fine but if you're concerned, just keep an eye on it.
