I am going to fab up some new stainless steel fuel rails for my 80lb shorty injectors and the welding will definitely be pushing my limited skills and experience to the limit.
I've been practicing a little bit but decided to attempt a more realistic weld last night. I think I cooked it a bit too much. Funny thing is I had actually turned the heat down a little bit from my practice sessions which resulted in me moving quite a bit slower and I think ultimately putting more heat into the piece.
It's been suggested to me to make a heat sink by pushing a piece of copper tubing into the stainless tube. I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens. I also haven't been back purging the tube so it's all buggered up inside.
