Tig weld if anything.

Thanks Deets. TIG weld with an aluminum filler rod, or is there a special alloy that is required for mag? Don't have access to a TIG welder, but if MIG absolutely will not work, I might find a TIG welder.

Hard to say about the mig, you just don't have the control that you do with tig. Never welded mag, but when in doubt I usually use stainless. It works well with many different alloys

I have a few projects on the bench.
Getting the 031av cleaned up and refreshed.
Repowering my old Giant Vac push blower. I hate Briggs engines. In goes the $99 6.5hp HF engine.
Put a new carburetor on my old 80's Japanese leaf blower (Kawasaki TA51 engine). This blower works better than most new ones.

I have never done it but I work with and learned welding from people that have welded magnesium. Welding magnesium is trickier than aluminum. You won't be able to use stainless filler or aluminum. You can mig weld, but the wire might cost as much as the saw depending on the size roll you can get. As deets said tig welding would be your best bet if you could find someone that can do it.

The un-repairable block huh? At least you did not experience the killer dowel pin
I wanna see your bench if it can hold that block good work.
You going to put a common rail in or did they just put the turbo and manifold on the 24 valve?
No, its 2000, and my truck in a 99, common rail showed up in 2003.
KDP is done on the old block and will do the new ever thou its not a offshore block.
Ya, its darn heavy,, real darn heavy!!!
I was looking at the manifold with the 2 back cylinders and front 4 feeding like the common rail. I guess it didn't come out of a dodge.
Bought it in Alberta,it came from the U.S.A as a used school bus,, but the 10 buses didn't pass some test, so they sat for near 10 years and were scrapped, about 60,000 miles on it.
It has an air compressor on the other side also, and a ton of sensors not needed on the dodge. The injection pump wont work with the dodge ECM.
So its not a straight swap.

I seen those sensors on the turbo side and it hit me it wasn't a dodge application

You need magnesium filler rod to do it right. TIG FOR SURE. Find a good welding shop or just find a replacement case. The fab work may cost more!

Thank you Four Paws, I will consider that. Getting a replacement case is probably the way to go. Sigh....
