TIG weld a AL head?
Can I repair this head by building up the fire ring land with AL rod without warping it? Totally new to TIG. Don't want to warp it, not sure what filler rod to use. MAZDA AL casting. Plan on building it up very slowly and then doing a minimal skim cut on it to flatten to spec. Blown head gasket ran too long. Eroded fire ring land from 15 to 5mm wide. Will no longer seal.
