I haven't seen anyone using cast iron fusion welding in the last 50 years other than myself and then I only used it twice. It's nice to know that someone somewhere is still using it. In todays market it had been largely displaced for faster are welding methods. Dumb thing is it was still better than anything out there today.

WOW!!! I'm sure most viewers won't appreciate the trickiness of this task. 25yrs I had a friend whose head cracked on his XS500 motorcycle. We looked around for a replacement but due to the relative rarity of the machine one could not be found for love or money. At the time I worked in a well equipped fabrication shop so I was asked if anything could be done. There was also a well equipped machine shop right next door. I had a look and said "No way". Due to the brittleness of castings, the heat stresses involved,.the concominant distortion and the precision required the job was seen as almost impossible and even if successful it would be likely to crack again soon after. I asked several of my coworkers and they agreed with my opinion. But as there was NO other option we tried it anyway. One of our most experienced welders tried it and the head just cracked somewhere else as soon almost as soon as the torch was applied even though we had carefully preheated the head. So, even in our first world hi-tech fully equipped workshops this job could not be done. Yet here they are actually achieving it on the backstreets of Pakistan, and with primitive equipment. I believe the trick was to do the welding while keeping the head in the 'oven'. Ingenious, I really take my hat off to these guys.

@@seadog158 well I praise the western technological achievements without shame and with all honesty but I'm not stupid enough to think narrowly as we are in a western era and so it's too easy to only see this side. Trying to see the broader picture during human known history and you'll understand Europe us very small compared to that. Plus I have to add that most of the technical achievements attributed to Europe as actually not. Please have a look at the Baghdad battery, Ibn firnas flying machine, antikitera mechanism, mesure of time, ... So I have to strongly and respectfully disagree with you sir
we were taught cast iron welding at trade school , but you had to peen the weld after welding.the run out on some of the machines amazed me.i can see pre comps and valve seats falling out.and i forgot the after cooling in a bag of lime.
That alignment stub that goes into the valve guides to enable the valve seats to be concentric is a little bent and the cylinder head should not rock as it does when doing that operatio0n now and later on when cutting the valve seatings. I do not like how he pushes on the head at 16:21, and I shivered at some other actions he took during other operations, but then perhaps I am too fussy and a cylinder head need not be coaxed and treated with gloves as I thought it should. The welder was brilliant in every way and that man knows the phase diagram of that metal he was handling. He is not only intelligent and feels his way through, but he is also a very brave man to handle that little bit of welding procedure!!!!! It is such a pity that our education system does not give enough credit to these people who have the ability to " process" an issue rather than remember information. Most people these days are the proud owners of what they buy and operate and not what they can process and diagnose an entity that needs to be repaired and guaranteed. Such craftsmen do not need any examiner to judge their caliber as the result is in the guaranteed working of the item they produce. Many schools run curriculums where the school thinks that its own examiners will decide the caliber of its students, but real life is not like that........................... our real value is what we can produce and guarantee to work without nature nor luck ever giving us a hand!!
I have never heard of gas welding cast iron. I would be very interested in the filler metal and gases and pressures. Excellent work especially in the crude shop judged by western standards.
I've heard of using pure nickel, nickel-iron alloy rod and cast iron rod. I'm guessing they're probably using cast iron as that would be the cheapest option. It is crazy to see them barbequing the head like that but it probably does a great job of heating it evenly and allowing it time to cool evenly and slowly.
Peterson #2 High heat flux, green. Filler is used piston rings. I have welded steel to cast iron with good results. But my results were not machinable-- could only be ground.
This is how cast iron welding was done in the old days,-Grind or chip out the crack, preheat the job in a charcoal furnace.Using a cast iron welding rod with flux (usually borax), fuse the rod into the hogged out crack, it's absolutely crucial that you let the job cool down SLOWLY- 6 hours at least,If you don't, unequal contraction will cause the metal to crack again, I've repaired many cast iron jobs and I still have a couple of rods in my garage. Nowadays, people use electric welding, using nickel rods, and peening the repair as it cools, to prevent cracking, but cast iron welding is still very risky,due to the of cast iron. It also is porous to a degree, and oil in the matrix will prevent a successful weld being performed. , ;
They call that runout... it appears to be a requirement with their machine tools. t least here there's a guide to keep the tool sorta centered. But the guide is extremely bent, so... smh
If you have this cracked cylinder head to be fixed at local America dealership, They will replace entire new Engine for your pocket $7000.00. I assumed this Cave shop will do for you only $30 bucks to fix filling cracks. Thats a great to have those to do for us.
I have to “like” b4 watching these videos, as I’ve not been disappointed to date for the creativity and persistence to get the job done. Just wished the work grounds were a tad neater.
@@dennisyoung4631 is it because if we weld it at temperature room, the cast iron will not merged to the welding? Any quick explanation perhaps? Much apreciated
@@rrezaputrap2862 cast iron tends to be brittle. If it cools abruptly, it will crack or break. Same for any sudden changes in temperature. Hence, one wishes to heat pieces of it well - say, 8-900 degrees F, or 500 or so C - and keep it at that temperature while being welded or brazed - and then cool slowly, so that the stresses will *hopefully* equalize in the part as a whole. The ductility of “brass” is why brazing is often favored. Cast iron welding, however, has its advantages, which is why some still attempt to do it.
I can sit here and point out the lack of precision on a cylinder head, but it amazes me what these people do with limited production tools. They even preheated the cast head to repair the crack, which is what you are supposed to do. With a little more attention to clamping the work piece prior to boring, I think the process isn’t half bad. I’m just glad they fly cut the deck. I’ve seen videos of people using a grinding stone, so this is definitely legit for what it is.
Impressive! If I have even a hint of contamination my welds will leak like fury. If I don't very carefully control the post weld heating in the special oven it will either crack or be so hard it's un-machinable. I wonder what they're using for flux? Straight Borax?
@@МагомедКавказ-д3х Я использую никелевый электрод для дуговой сварки или сварку чугуна с распылением. Я нагреваю детали примерно до 316 ° C в большой духовке. Кроме того, рядом со мной стоит человек и каждые 10 секунд спрашивает: «Ты еще не закончил? ... "Ты еще не закончил?"
If the guys who forge knives and other instruments like that can use it to clean extremely high carbon steel before forging multiple layers of different grades together with just a propane, or even coal forge and BIG hammers I don't know why it wouldn't work here. But I was really surprised when he started building up the welds without even blowing off the charcoal and I just about fainted when he chucked the hot cast iron into a cool liquid, and it didn't make so much as a teensy little ping much less a big ol' crack.
@@horsepower711 I think they left it to cool slowly in the ash. That probably works pretty well. I think it was cool when they dumped it in the liquid (probably phosphoric acid for rust removal).
The entire head is preheated and maintained at the same temperature, there would be no warping. The preheating is also for the cast iron head to be welded. That welder is quite skilled with a torch. He did a good job.
watching these blokes do fine work in primitive conditions reminds me of the quote "do you need a $5000 barbecue to cook a steak when it tastes the same on a wood fire"
Coming from a mechanic this is what’s wrong with most of the rest of the world people have forgotten how to do things the hard way by hand. Now they just log on and get what they want. That head will probably seal better than any new head you can buy offline. Keep the forgotten arts alive guys.
In todays high tech western society these guys wouldn't even qualify to start a course. But in the real world I'd back these guys all day long. In the west we've lost the ability to ask What If?. Everything nowadays has a procedure to follow,
Wow. Strictly speaking he recast metal rods into a pre-soaked (already red hot) cylinder head using a gas torch to melt and reflow the two metals together. I guess this has similarities to how old lead plumbing was undertaken with new just about molten lead being applied to lead which is just shy of melting point in order to fuse the two metals seamlessly together! Takes a lot of experience to be able to work metals in such a way without applying too much heat to the solid metal (melt your work) or too little heat to old and new which won't fuse the two together! My main worry would be that in attempting such a repair the water channel was closed off or narrower than before resulting in under cooling part of the engine under load! Let alone as others have said the wonky drill press with the very large runout, or the angle grinder being taken to the head several times over to nefarious places before flattening - which must mean the head had to be ground down excessively to make it flat again!

Pretty nice but he would never be able to hear a word you say....
Very skilled worker. I dont think that he could read a micrometer, but he does great work.
Looks like he read it just fine.
@@TheHolyGhost777 when he was cutting the outside diameter of the replacement seats ,he used it as no go -go gage. But he did nice work anyhow.
He knows enough, for what he have to do with the micrometer, don't worry !!

He was doing step by step..
Good skills, don't know how long the repair will last, but nice to see people able to do it with limited means and without genuine parts!
Congratulations, in our (too much) "rich" countries we throw away and replace things instead of trying to fix them, and I think we are definitely wrong.
For ever mate good repair strong repair mate
It will live longer than your car if you done it good it will surwive forever
Beautiful amazing outstanding well done. It's a machine shop and all things are possible. If you don't have the parts, but tools and knowledge nothing is impossible. You learn to make them yourself. Thanks for the outstanding video. From a master mechanic and Machinest from Germany.

@@seadog158 well I praise the western technological achievements without shame and with all honesty but I'm not stupid enough to think narrowly as we are in a western era and so it's too easy to only see this side. Trying to see the broader picture during human known history and you'll understand Europe us very small compared to that.
Plus I have to add that most of the technical achievements attributed to Europe as actually not.
Please have a look at the Baghdad battery, Ibn firnas flying machine, antikitera mechanism, mesure of time, ...
So I have to strongly and respectfully disagree with you sir
Excellent job greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷 Masha Allah
we were taught cast iron welding at trade school , but you had to peen the weld after welding.the run out on some of the machines amazed me.i can see pre comps and valve seats falling out.and i forgot the after cooling in a bag of lime.
Самое невероятное, но это будет работать
Wow, that was amazing, you guys are professional !!!!!! Congratulations 🎉
u r like dumb and dumber
Amazing work, great job, you saved the customer much money 💰.
That alignment stub that goes into the valve guides to enable the valve seats to be concentric is a little bent and the cylinder head should not rock as it does when doing that operatio0n now and later on when cutting the valve seatings.
I do not like how he pushes on the head at 16:21, and I shivered at some other actions he took during other operations, but then perhaps I am too fussy and a cylinder head need not be coaxed and treated with gloves as I thought it should.
The welder was brilliant in every way and that man knows the phase diagram of that metal he was handling. He is not only intelligent and feels his way through, but he is also a very brave man to handle that little bit of welding procedure!!!!!
It is such a pity that our education system does not give enough credit to these people who have the ability to " process" an issue rather than remember information. Most people these days are the proud owners of what they buy and operate and not what they can process and diagnose an entity that needs to be repaired and guaranteed. Such craftsmen do not need any examiner to judge their caliber as the result is in the guaranteed working of the item they produce. Many schools run curriculums where the school thinks that its own examiners will decide the caliber of its students, but real life is not like that........................... our real value is what we can produce and guarantee to work without nature nor luck ever giving us a hand!!
I have never heard of gas welding cast iron. I would be very interested in the filler metal and gases and pressures.
Excellent work especially in the crude shop judged by western standards.
I've heard of using pure nickel, nickel-iron alloy rod and cast iron rod. I'm guessing they're probably using cast iron as that would be the cheapest option. It is crazy to see them barbequing the head like that but it probably does a great job of heating it evenly and allowing it time to cool evenly and slowly.
Peterson #2 High heat flux, green. Filler is used piston rings. I have welded steel to cast iron with good results. But my results were not machinable-- could only be ground.
I need the type of material for the patch with the flux are you willing to sell and ship to Indonesia? thanks
This is how cast iron welding was done in the old days,-Grind or chip out the crack, preheat the job in a charcoal furnace.Using a cast iron welding rod with flux (usually borax), fuse the rod into the hogged out crack, it's absolutely crucial that you let the job cool down SLOWLY- 6 hours at least,If you don't, unequal contraction will cause the metal to crack again, I've repaired many cast iron jobs and I still have a couple of rods in my garage. Nowadays, people use electric welding, using nickel rods, and peening the repair as it cools, to prevent cracking, but cast iron welding is still very risky,due to the of cast iron. It also is porous to a degree, and oil in the matrix will prevent a successful weld being performed.

Second question, what is the degreaser/cleaner you were using for the first dip? Lye? Or acid? Very curious.
13:50 Not sure how round that hole is going to be with the piece wobbling like that
don't worry about it ;)
They call that runout... it appears to be a requirement with their machine tools. t least here there's a guide to keep the tool sorta centered. But the guide is extremely bent, so... smh
The word OVAL comes to mind.
@@georg1875 \NO. they dont worry about it. everyone else give him a slap and past him home

If you have this cracked cylinder head to be fixed at local America dealership, They will replace entire new Engine for your pocket $7000.00. I assumed this Cave shop will do for you only $30 bucks to fix filling cracks. Thats a great to have those to do for us.
I knew it was impossible to weld. AND. OMG. he brazed it. wow
I've got lots of cast iron parts that I will be working on now
No, that *was* welded. Brazed would show a yellowish color.
I have to “like” b4 watching these videos, as I’ve not been disappointed to date for the creativity and persistence to get the job done. Just wished the work grounds were a tad neater.
WOW
These guys are awesome.
Impressive skills, great workmanship..
That engine head is now ready to run for several years, she's rescued, not trashed and swapped for new : no wasting 👍
I am impressed with the repair of the cylinder head with charcoal fire ♪
Cast iron needs thorough heating and slow cooling when being welded or brazed.
@@dennisyoung4631 is it because if we weld it at temperature room, the cast iron will not merged to the welding? Any quick explanation perhaps? Much apreciated
@@rrezaputrap2862 cast iron tends to be brittle. If it cools abruptly, it will crack or break. Same for any sudden changes in temperature.
Hence, one wishes to heat pieces of it well - say, 8-900 degrees F, or 500 or so C - and keep it at that temperature while being welded or brazed - and then cool slowly, so that the stresses will *hopefully* equalize in the part as a whole.
The ductility of “brass” is why brazing is often favored. Cast iron welding, however, has its advantages, which is why some still attempt to do it.
He's the smart one... He's made a work bench (sort of) and has a chair and work gloves, and shoes...
Amazing. All done without any CNC machinery.
I can sit here and point out the lack of precision on a cylinder head, but it amazes me what these people do with limited production tools. They even preheated the cast head to repair the crack, which is what you are supposed to do. With a little more attention to clamping the work piece prior to boring, I think the process isn’t half bad. I’m just glad they fly cut the deck. I’ve seen videos of people using a grinding stone, so this is definitely legit for what it is.
They cannot clamp the work!!! That cutting arbor's guide has at least 1mm of wobble!
How cool watching this video, a master at work. I'm so impressed!
Impressive! If I have even a hint of contamination my welds will leak like fury. If I don't very carefully control the post weld heating in the special oven it will either crack or be so hard it's un-machinable. I wonder what they're using for flux? Straight Borax?

@@МагомедКавказ-д3х Я использую никелевый электрод для дуговой сварки или сварку чугуна с распылением. Я нагреваю детали примерно до 316 ° C в большой духовке. Кроме того, рядом со мной стоит человек и каждые 10 секунд спрашивает: «Ты еще не закончил? ... "Ты еще не закончил?"
If the guys who forge knives and other instruments like that can use it to clean extremely high carbon steel before forging multiple layers of different grades together with just a propane, or even coal forge and BIG hammers I don't know why it wouldn't work here.
But I was really surprised when he started building up the welds without even blowing off the charcoal and I just about fainted when he chucked the hot cast iron into a cool liquid, and it didn't make so much as a teensy little ping much less a big ol' crack.
@@horsepower711 I think they left it to cool slowly in the ash. That probably works pretty well. I think it was cool when they dumped it in the liquid (probably phosphoric acid for rust removal).
They let it could down 24 hours
The head was taken on a trip down memory, lane getting it all back to temp. But just how you avoided buckling that thing beats me. Nice work.
The entire head is preheated and maintained at the same temperature, there would be no warping. The preheating is also for the cast iron head to be welded. That welder is quite skilled with a torch. He did a good job.
i am totally blown away by their skills, wow

What did he put in the sleeve when he pounded the new seat/rings in? Is it grease or epoxy?
Coming from a mechanic this is what’s wrong with most of the rest of the world people have forgotten how to do things the hard way by hand. Now they just log on and get what they want. That head will probably seal better than any new head you can buy offline. Keep the forgotten arts alive guys.
Where has this head been repaired? India? Unbelievable how skilful this man did the repair. I am speechless.

Great job mechanic excellent work
Good job. Greetings from Poland 🙂💪.
Wow. Strictly speaking he recast metal rods into a pre-soaked (already red hot) cylinder head using a gas torch to melt and reflow the two metals together. I guess this has similarities to how old lead plumbing was undertaken with new just about molten lead being applied to lead which is just shy of melting point in order to fuse the two metals seamlessly together!
Takes a lot of experience to be able to work metals in such a way without applying too much heat to the solid metal (melt your work) or too little heat to old and new which won't fuse the two together!
My main worry would be that in attempting such a repair the water channel was closed off or narrower than before resulting in under cooling part of the engine under load! Let alone as others have said the wonky drill press with the very large runout, or the angle grinder being taken to the head several times over to nefarious places before flattening - which must mean the head had to be ground down excessively to make it flat again!
