No, just make a small weld then quench it with a wet rag. It takes a while to do it this way, but so far useing this method I haven't scraped any. Probably not the most professional way to do it but I make it work. The first one I done fer my 288 I just welded it without quenching. It warped the pee out of it. I was able to salvage it in my vise with the plastic jaws & some light sanding.

Nice Stump, I am like the other guys hunting you a 460. The other day in a saw shop I stepped over the Arc of the convent the Holly Grail and Jimmy Hoffa but not MS460 in site.

Cool. I haven't had the need to yet, but itching to try it. I got a Lincoln Square Wave, precision TIG 185. I got enough scrap cylinders to make a few holders for the piston, was going to cut the cylinder in half vertically then clamp that around the piston for a holder/heatsink.

I should probably do the same thing.
I need to git a lathe so I can make some holders.

Ya, a lathe helps for sure, I don't know what I'd do without mine.
How do you do the popup after welding then? Just leave it as is?

The only way I have figured it out is to send them to a online place like photobucket, then copy and paste the IMG link to here. Its actually easier than posting pictures from my home computer once I figured it out. Maybe that'll help ya out.

Come on Stump, it's easier than that to do a pop up, just get you some Loctite 424 and glue a couple quarters on the top, they dang sure won't come off after using 424. I turned a busing to put in a draw bar and used some of it to glue the bushing in thinking it would be temporary, guess what, that dang bushing is still there. I've had it hooked to 10' x 48" roller filled with water, a plow, disc, baler etc. I've had to turn a few pins down. We use the stuff to glue barrel liners in when re-barreling old shot out .22's, the stuff is incredible. I may have to find a wild thing and see if it will actually work.lol

Are you gonna do anything to the carb? I've been looking at boring mine a couple of millimeters but I haven't come up with a good way to replace the butterfly.
After seeing your work here, it has refueled me. I'll take it to work Monday and study some more.
