Hello,
Im in the process of changing a head gasket on a Renault Clio due to loss coolant, after stripping it down and removing the head i found a blown head gasket along with a small crack from the coolant port.(see photos)
Im a tool maker by trade and can laser weld,but only steel, and have no experience in welding aluminium.
does anyone have any tips on welding aluminium?
What process would i use to prepare and weld this crack?
Thanks in advance.
