i need someone who does aluminum welding, my transmission blew a hole on the highway the other day, i think the differential gears came apart.. if i could get the housing welded I'll do a rebuild.

gabriel_tintman

my father explained to me that timing is everything so if your timing is off or distributer is too retarded or if its too advanced you'll get that overheat problem, you gotta get it just right..
