Pushit2.0, JET, or one of our sponsors should be able to get you taken care of.

Re: can anyone here tig weld an fittings to valve covers

thanks jet...pushit2.0 did get to me though and said he can handle it, but the only thing I am worried about is getting every metal shaving out from behind the baffles, so I am waiting for a response on how that is remedied

Id do that, there was a guy on the dsmlink forums taht was selling the weld in baffles.

When I did mine I drilled my own holes and ended up just not rocking a baffle as I didn't want to miss a piece.
