Max340, if I knew my machine shop was going to use a torch on the rods....
not acceptable to me.

P.S. Someone mentioned the 340's HP rating....275hp....that was at 5000 rpm....what did it make at 5800???

Without being able to control temp, the torch is obviously a second choice, and I would never approve "cherry red", since expansion, not welding is the idea.
