    Those cam covers needed the refinish. Lovely work.
    Curious when the last major was on her...

    i did a major recently with everything your doing above, isnt is fun?!
    curious to know why you weld the lower cam gears, are they multiple pieces? if so, can they seperate? i removed mine to do the bearings behind them and didnt see that they could be multiple pieces.

    I think welding the fences to the pulley just insure they will not separate in the future and shred the belts leading to $25K repairs. That is all.

    Correct thank you. Simple insurance to avoid a big issue. Ferrari started tac welding the same parts when they produced the 360 and 575.

    How did you weld them?
    A tig?
    What rod?

    Not a welder so not sure if I am asking the correct questions

    We used silicone bronze welding but thats not a common machine to find. You can do MIG or TIG just spray it with an etch primer after or the open weld will cause corrosion. The factory part has a zinc plating that has to be sanded off to weld.
