Need to weld a broken starter mount tab (outside hole) on a SBC block. Hole is way beyond using a thread insert Fairly experienced at arc welding cast with nickel rod but also have a mig welder. Some folks have suggested using stainless mig wire instead of nickel arc rod. If I just weld the hole shut the new threads will cut away most of the weld. Should I just vee it out completely to the outside and build up with beads?
